Yes, it is quite simple to use the UCI engine in various UCI interfaces. You and
I can do it easily. But we are in the top 10% of knowledgable people in this
special area, and not everyone reads this forum!?

The Shredder 8 CD does not provide a UCI interface. Also the help and technical
information provided on the CD makes no mention that a copy of the UCI engine
was installed in a sub-folder of the Chessbase/Engines folder, so many people
won't know that it is available. There have been several queries here on that
subject.

So I believe that 9 out of 10 people who buy the Shredder 8 CD will not be aware
that a UCI engine exists, and most won't have a UCI interface available to try
it.
