Just as a quick example, I played S8-Chessbase and S8-Classic against S7.04

[Identical machines - moves manually input - 40/2]

First to achieve 10 wins.  Here are the results:

Shredder 8 (ChessBase)vs. Shredder 7.04

S8-CB	 	10 (3 wins)
S7.04	 	17 (10 wins)

Shredder 8 (Classic GUI) vs. Shredder 7.04

S8-Classic	22 (10 wins)
S7.04	 	16 (4 wins)

It's hard for me to believe that only the opening book made such a dramatic
difference.
