in my opinion an engine should show its strength without using endgame tablebases. opening books although should be used preferably one for all engines so every engine has the same chance to profit from it. in the moment im doing a test match (5 min blitz)with 21 engines mainly to see how shredder (shredder 8 classic engine and shredder 7.04) performs without endgame tablebases. arena opening book (harry schnapp - excellent work) is used just due to the fact that engines pick some nice and often not seen openings. so far both shredders disappoint...it seems that some openings are hard to counter or take as an advantage to middlegame by the shredders.. in the endgame without tablebases shredder seems to have not enough knowledge to win the game under above time setting. what do you think of it? marc
