George,

I agree that too many are ready to bury Shredder based on a 9 round tournament.
I think this WCCC was more of a social gathering while playing a few rounds of
computer chess between drinks.  Don't misunderstand, I use an older version of
Shredder and like it but the new and much improved amateur programs are becoming
the highlight of my on line play.  DHM
