I believe this was agreed with CB; however by registering and owning Shredder 8 CB you could use the Shredder 8 UCI (installed in a sub-directory by Shredder) and getting free the best (so far) opening book Shredder8a.bkt and being able to have both GUIs and be able to run the strongest Shredder 8 version: Shredder 8 UCI + Shredder8a.bkt running under Shredder Classic = about 2850 Elo on the SSDF list (if tested). >I bought it some weeks ago and now I feel somewhat deceived.

I think you should see this as "a completation" of the Shredder 8 CB package. In addition to that a new weaker engine has been given for free. >So, how it was possible to market in cold bllod a weaker engine with a new >version, classic? >Disappointed and amazed >IF the idea was to market something for the mass market, we here should have >been warned. Well, as far as I know, both SMK and myself always told exactly about the strenght of each engine...I do not know how some people thougth that these new Shredder classic engines were stronger... >fernando Sandro
