It is working as you described it with the Shredder Classic Engine (nice feature
isnt it!!!).

There are at least XXX bug fixes. I am sure I dont know all the new features
yet. The most important one are tourney, but I like the possibility of having
csv files after a epd test set runs. You can easily import those csv files into
a spreadsheet to make a statistic for different versions of your engine!

It is a stand alone Engine. So no S7 or S8 but for sure weaker than S8. Other
Engines? Not yet, as far as I know.

He still is working with Chessbase. No changes there (Or better nothing I know
of) It is only the GUI that is marketed seperatly!
