I have seen this quite often with Shredder 7.04 and it appears the same is happening with Shredder 8. I have drawn "won" games while being as high as +3.07 with Shredder 7 and on rare occasions have lost similar games. I just finised a game with epanek2's CT 15 on ICC that indicated for a few moves I was about +2.87 to a draw conclusion. I don't record these games to post and have no technical explanation why one program see this and another doesn't. When other programs are "whispering" during play, especially CT 15's eval, the difference of evals is very evident. Consequently I don't pay too much attention to my Shredder 7 eval until a more conclusive end is in sight. Among the other programs I play against I find CT 15 eval to be much more accurate and consistent. DHM
