Hi Franz,

I am well known for doing things without thinking, just ask my chess
computers...

How do I know in advance which mode to use. I haven't found anything in the
readme (I was not looking into the source files...). 'Automatic' seemed a
plausible mode, since my R30 found the mate also 'automatically'. :)

Best,
Martin

P.S. I'm using the Shredder(ChessBase) via the UCI-interface.
