This is true for Shredder UCI, and also for Thinker if you remove the priority line. Eg. they get the same priority. When you add the Priority=normal you force thinker to run with a higher priority than Shredder. In Shredder Classic (and Arena) all engines are running with 'normal' priority so with 'Priority=normal' you only force it to use the priority it would use in any case. The thought behind the 'Priority' switch is to give a nicer, more userfriendly, gui when analyzing with gui's that don't lower the priority eg. Shredder Classic/Chess Assistant etc. You can surf on the net, work with Word, do some programming etc. all when you have the engine to analyze a position, and the response from all these program would be like you didn't have any engine analyzing in the background. The analysis itself wouldn't be hurt to much, maybe 10 sec. slower for a 10 minutes analysis. Odd Gunnar
