I have always thought that the differences with an engine running as native or as UCI were minor, perhaps none. Now, you have me wondering and perhaps I should make a couple of tests! Having said that, I wouldn't be surprised if the difference was very small, perhaps a few rating points, 5 or less. That would not bother me. Like you, I care less about the book and more about the interface, and with an engine working well with other engines and having no problems. I will get the UCI Shredder 9 with Stefan's interface and use the engine in Fritz GUI. When I want to use the real Shredder book, I will use Stefan's GUI. I will probably use Stefan's UCI when I want to play the engine myself, since his ELO-handicapping feature seems to work well there. Mark
