Here you must understand my position! The positions I have in the latest five-six years from the work I do: - Group building for make more! - Animation for get more! - Compatibility for get more! - Support for get more! For get more: If I try this I have the result to have more in the future for my own interest. So you can see that I am thinking on myself with the work I made too. I wrote Gandalf and Shredder: Booth programs are important: - Shredder supported a standard protocol (UCI), is the strongest program we have, good endgame, nice openings, good positional computer chess. - Gandalf supported a standard protocol (UCI and WB), have the most interesting middelgame, played the most shortest games vs. other top programs and we have fire on the board. And now Sandro: A user asked ... what is a good combination for my fast PC to analyze games. The right answer is Shredder in combination with Gandalf and all the strong amateurs we have because each amateur have a selection it's very good. Example Yace in endgame. Booth programs are interesting for users because users can used booth program under all available GUIs. For me is absolutely clear, my commercial favorits from the "older" available commercial engines. Like Hiarcs too but the program is for me not interesting because the engine support is bad. >I only make the tests with my books, like the SSDF, and I think Shredder 7 book >gave an extra strenght to the program compared to Shredder 6...the same would be >true with Shredder8a.bkt book. I believe it. I belive you do a big work with the Shredder book. Much persons asked me in the past ... Frank what do you think is a good book for the opening. I say all the time the book by Sandro ... sorry Sandro ... and the book from Dan Wulff. Booth books are long time developements and have a very high niveau.ยด But: More and more persons try to start a good work with opening books too. Harry, Salvatore, Wael much others. A lot of good Arena books are so far available. I hope that the developers work also a long time on this books, you do or Dan do. I know you dislike if I write about different programs, books! >> >>Best >>Frank > >Ciao >Sandro Keep up your good work Sandro! I am sure the new Shredder book have success, same for Shredder 9.0. Best Frank
