But (the real) Shredder 8 (the Chessbase one) comes with the native version of Shredder 8 and the UCI-Version. The latter one you can install in the classic GUI and now you have the Classic GUI with the real Shredder 8. Of course you need to buy two products. I find it unpleasant that on Shredderchess.com it is not emphasized that you don't buy the Shredder 8 _engine_ as one would normally suspect but another weaker engine. It's there but not emphasized hence the confusion. regards Joachim
