Subject: Shredder8 - Is it the book ?

Author: Thomas Logan

I received Shredder 8 in the mail today

Based upon results seen on this site

I began a series of blitz matches against Hiarcs 9

Hiarcs used the narrower Hiarc.ctg book rather
than the larger hiarcs 9

Shredder the shredder8.ctg book

both were optomised for tournaments

90 meg hash, tablebases on

p4 2.0 gig

Game in 5 minutes

Hiarcs spanked Shredder in the first 10 game series

winning 5 drawing 3 and losing but 2

Shredder seemed at times to come out of the opening poorly

This caused me to wonder about using the shredder7.ctg book instead

Well Shredder shreddered Hiarcs winning 5 drawing 4 and lossing only 1

and even more impressive result than Hiarcs first scored

Is it the book, luck of the draw or the limited number of games ?

This should be food for thought and additional tests
