I thought the book for shredder 7 >was good but too varied in the chessbase gui for engine v engine matches untill >learning took over. I have been asked to keep high variety still, but the book has been refined removing weak lines and or reducing the values of them to have them been played less frequently. So at the end I can state that the book has been refined. >The book in the classic gui seemed better in this respect, Yes, because selecting the tournament option the selection is more restricted to the "supposed" better moves. >though I understand that interface is no longer included with Shredder 8. Is not included, but there will be a surprise soon for those who loves the UCI interface...cannot say anything more yet...I am one of those...but you will need the CB Shredder 8 disk in any case, so my suggestion is to get it now... The book for the UCI interface has been improved upon too... > >Regards > >Mike Sandro
