Maybe you intend to convey that the line is bad, but there is no >better move - any clarification appreciated. Yes, I mean the line is bad for one side. I am planning to improve this, but one will see what I mean in future upgrades; not in Shredder 9 book. Shredder 9 book will be a refinement of the Shredder 8a book (better) and a little bigger too. > >I look forward to Shredder 9, and wonder if it will be released as an engine for >the Chessbase (Fritz 8) GUI, or only for the Classic Shredder GUI? >WP There are no info on this yet. It is not necessary for me to know it as there is a conversion program to convert the book from the Shredder GUI (my preferred one) to the CB one, so I can test with either gui. I am expecting the new Shredder 9 to be stronger than Shredder 8 and I am working to make the book quite better. After I will have to go back to the tournament book for the revenge match against Hydra as we have to win next time! Ciao Sandro
