Also undoubtedly its author has made a remarkable job to ahieve its present strength and I congratulate its author for the job well done. Alas, one unsolicited advise -- success doesn't have to make one to sound arrogant, boastful, or even plain persistent. It is still the best to be successful and humble, even when one's person or achievement is being attacked relentlessly. I do not personally know Shredder's SMK but I am his great fan because he epitomizes true gentleness and humbleness. Being a passive chess fan but a sharp observant, it did not escape me when majority of ChessBase news articles for Shredder is wittingly/unwittingly negative. I was waiting for SMK to rebut, defend, or fight back due this but in every single occasion he did not. Instead he chose to be quiet and let his Shredder's achievements speak for himself. DESIDERATA - Go placidly amid the noise and haste, and remember what peace there may be in silence. As far as possible without surrender be on good terms with all persons. SPEAK YOUR TRUTH QUIETLY AND CLEARLY; AND LISTEN TO OTHERS, EVEN THE DULL AND IGNORANT; THEY TOO HAVE THEIR STORY..................
