You know well that Shredder classic cannot run CB-natives because
CB-natives have a serious weakness.

If you support Fritz because of that reasons then other programmers will be

Zappa is going to have the same support for UCI engines so you can run matches

You will not be able to do matches between Zappa and Fruit under Fritz GUI.
