In your several postings, you indicate Shredder 9 (not an experimental version) was used at Paderborn with standard settings, since it was agreed most stable. Yet you also indicate the Shredder 9, as used, was 'buggy', since certain routines regardig piece exchanges and sacrifices were disabled accidentally. Are you saying that my recently purchased and downloaded Shredder UCI version has those 'bugs' in it? Are you saying that my purchased S9 version is not as strong as it could be, due to a bug? Are you saying that my S9 home version, if used on a quad processor as in Paderborn will play the same moves, generally speaking, as Shredder vs Hydra in that Tournament? Does that mean a free upgrade is forthcoming, to fix the bug? I don't understand your potentially conflicting comments. Thanks in advance for a more full explanation, --Steve
