Perhaps those who own one or the other (or >both) could post the analysis of a few positions so we can compare them. So far in my engine tournament, no. I’m running a five engine, engine tournament, round robin, 1,000 games, 10' + 5", each engine own book, default engine settings, no EGTBs, Athlon 750 single processor, 384MB RAM, 128MB hash tables for all, F8 GUI. Results so far after 100+ rounds, as follows: Shredder 7.04 - 55% - 56.5/102 Fritz 8, Ver 23 - 53% - 54.0/101 Deep Fritz 8 - 50% - 50.0/100 Hiarcs 9 - 49% - 50.0/102 Junior 8 - 42% - 42.5/101 Heads up F8 v DF8 - 12.5 - 12.5. I understand from Kurt that version 26 of F8 is better than version 23. Perhaps a little hype from Chessbase? It worked. I forked over $100 for DF8 for my single processor machine. Chris
