I am using Shredder 8 on the Chessbase site playchess.com as an engine in automated engine vs engine matches. On more than one occasion I have noticed a strange phenomena where Shredder is thinking (confirmed by high CPU usage in windows task bar) and the engine analysis window appears to freeze for 2-3 minutes. Other parts of the GUI work just fine. Then suddenly the analysis window comes back to life, but Shredder restarts its thinking back at ply 1 ! Ouch ...losing valuable time. I have lost 2 games this way via timeout. Any ideas as to what might be causing this ? Happens on two different versions of the Chessbase GUI (16 and 19). I am using default Shredder engine options, 256mb hash tables and endgame table bases. My PC is Win/XP SP2 Dell P4 2.8ghz and 1 gb RAM. Regards Barry
