Yes, if 1600 means average clubplayer(+) you should win with easy, at least games longer than 10 minutes. You could try to create a new engine with Shredder Classic and when you comes to the dialog with author's name etc. click on parameters and do the changes. Then change the name to f.ex. Shredder Classic 1000. After this you can look in the (fritz) enginefolder for the file 'Shredder Classic 1000.uci'. The option section should looks like this: [OPTIONS] UCI_LimitStrength=true UCI_Elo=1000 Use Tablebases=false When you load this new 'engine' you should see that it never get high on the ply. You can also notice if you bring up the task manager that it use no cpu power. Odd Gunnar
