SMK has been working a lot on the engine, so Shredder 9 will include an engine which will be quite different (improved a lot) than the one used in Tel Aviv and in Dubai. > >2. whether Classic GUI will be included in the package? (Many people here say > here that it was not given with Shredder 8 package) These commercial issue are not defined yet because we are not ready with the new program yet. I have receive a new version which seems strong enough to us (20 points increase are not enough for us) and we are testing it, so it looks at the end of this month we should be ready. I personally think there will be no Classic GUI in the CB disc as it is sold directly already. You will get to know all these things in 2 or 3 weeks...I think... > >3.

If the answer to above question is yes why to have separate site for selling > another version? specially if it is said to be weak. Well, I guess it was a commercial agreement with CB for Shredder 8 as one need to buy the CB version and register for Shredder Classic to get the strongest version (Shredder 8 UCI + Shredder8a.bkt running in Classic interface). Which agreement will be made for Shredder 9 is not known yet. If Shredder 9 will be quite stronger than Shredder 8, as it looks, CB will be interested to sell it... > >Thanks in advance >Peter Ciao Sandro
