Hi Sune, What you say is certainly true. But I am afraid you are posing a different argument than the first time. Originally you said no one wants to be beaten by shredder 20 times in a row. Now it is the features are too expensive. Here's the facts-- shredder download costs 30 dollars usa, it includes the 'oracle' which is 6-piece savy, and a great interface-- it IS usable by a beginner and 'classic' shredder costs the same as cm9k. the s8 engine in the chessbase distribution is stronger, I am told--but you a get good uci engine in the new package and a sandro necci opening book. there's no chess playing server client however. best regards-marc On April 06, 2004 at 09:08:58, Sune Fischer wrote: >On April 06, 2004 at 08:52:44, margolies,marc wrote: > >>the current shredder classic allows weaker players to use shredder enjoyably. >>the user can set shredder's rating for a game using a sliding bar that goes as >>low as 1200 uscf. >>therefore he won't be beat 20 times in a row unless he wants it that way. > >There is no reason to buy Shredder just for that, it's cheaper to download a >weak engine :) > >The strength can also be adjusted, even for weak engines, by adjusting the time >control. > >-S.
