This was a topic of discussion on ICC a few nights ago. _Many_ people there were upset at the different prices for the "Deep" version. Chessbase does the same for Fritz and Junior. I really don't think it is that out of sorts for Shredder to do the same. Stefan is bridging out with his own interface, offering Sandro's book for download with a valid interface, and now two versions of Shredder. From a commercial stand point it is about percentage points. He will make more by offering his own product than he would from the Chessbase offering. The Chessbase offering of Shredder 9 doesn't include the UCI version anymore either, which again was a hot topic of discussion. I don't find anything wrong with the two versions at all. In fact I think it makes perfect sense. He is only following the market trend. Peter
