Read correctly. You don't need a compiler.

It runs perfectly, you only have to configure it correctly.

I assume you want to use a book therefore I suggest to use it with bookthinker
to. Here we go:

1. Put Shredder, Bookthinker, Thinker.dat, Polyglot and Polyglot.ini into the
same directory.

2. Rename Bookthinker to BT+Shredder8.exe

3. Edit your winboard.ini. Here is mine (adjust the path):

...
"BT+Shredder8 polyglot" /fd="f:\schach\chessbase\engines\uci\shredder8"
/firstProtocolVersion=1
...

Do that correctly for sd too.

4. Make a correct polyglot.ini. Here is mine (adjust the paths and hash sizes):


[PolyGlot]

EngineName = Shredder8
EngineDir = F:\schach\ChessBase\Engines\UCI\Shredder8
EngineCommand = Shredder8

Log = true
LogFile = shredder8.log
Resign = true
ResignScore 1200

[Engine]

Hash = 128

NalimovPath = g:\tb
NalimovCache = 16

OwnBook = false





That's it.
