The question is if shredder9.ctg is superior to previous books. After chessbase released inferior interface(I have no big expectations from a new interface and not having new bugs is the most important thing that I expect from a new interface and if the thing has new bugs that it is easy to find then I expect a company not to release them) I doubt if they will release a superior book. There is a risk that they may release inferior book and later release update that will cause other problems and I think that customers should not be the beta testers. Uri
