Ok, I of course want it for tourneys only, I have SMIRF to fight against (Turning on the computer so my program fights online against other humans? No thanks, at least I've tryed that on ICC and FICS and once your rating goes pretty high nobody wants to fight you... Besides, it would be unfair for the programs that don't fight online since the one that does is learning a lot more :) > >>Requirements: 2, 1, 43, 39, 999. >>Those are very suspicious arbitrary numbers, are they the best? > >I dont think that they are "arbitrary". Have you had a look at the Shredder >help. Everything is explained in there! RTM - did I miss a letter there? ;-) Oops? Was there a manual/help? Is that thing that opens up automatically after you install the software? Might read it... But online help it's much better, specially coming from a quality poster :) >>Classic ------|-- Modern >> >>Is modern better than classic?

The main point in my tourney is to test personalities from different programs, that's it, changing the settings and see Shredder Gambit beating the crap out of Prodeo Solid and so and so. I've tryed Arena, but I don't like the MainBook from the site, and the Giant Book has lots of bad lines. You said Shredder Classic was the best for something, and I already had it, so it gets another chance :) Adiós.
