And they are fun to own. Overall F8 and S8 are equal. The good thing about owning them along with the excellent CB8 gui they come with, is that I can set them up for a big tournament against each other, or with competitors like Ruffian 105, List512 and Smarthink. Here is the results of the last tournament I ran at home, using blitz 4'+2". Fritz used its own book, Shredder its own book, List used the Fritz book, and the other 7 engines used my own ctg book. (Sorry, I can't check the formatting in advance) Shredder 8 15.5/18 Ruffian 1.0.5 11.5/18 List 512 10.5/18 79.25 Smarthink 10.5/18 77.25 Fritz 8 9.5/18 El Chinito 8.0/18 71.25 Aristarch 4.50 8.0/18 61.75 Gothmog 0.4.8 7.5/18 Ktulu 4.2 5.5/18 Anaconda 1.6.2 3.5/18
