I decided to run this match under the normal shredder GUI, NOT the classic and the point was to see if a strong engine like shredder 8 without Opening Book can still beat one of the strongest free engine like Aristarch 4.50 or LIST 512. I came with this idea because I saw no point in handicaping List 512 in this previous match, either all engines run with Opening Books, or all the engines are handicaped without Opening books, in case List512 doesn't have one, then a subtitute Opening Book from the arena website like the Mainbook by Harry Schnapp or Dr. Waehl could be provided: http://www.talkchess.com/forums/1/message.html?385498
