Thanks for clarification, from you and others.

Actually, I see now (I havn't been using top engines for some time now) that
this free trial Shredder engine, whilst probably alot stronger than the Arasan
which I play around with, takes much longer to win games than the Arasan.

The Arasan is very sharp against a human, and seems to give the human alot of
hard work to do, to keep his/her head. But this free trial Shredder Classic
knows how to push through attacks much better. I wonder if a human ought to feel
more comfortable playing it, even if it is much stronger than the Arasan.
