You are so honest to tell the opposite >although you are on the Shredder team........Yet i don't think "big" is >absolutely sure..... Well, not to tell what the people can see by them self too is stupid to me. I cannot say that I am happy to see such a score and of course we will work both on the engine and on the book to change the score, but this is what people can see. I always told sincerely what I knew and thought, but sometimes the people do not believe me because they think I make "marketing"...I do not think they would call this marketing, but some people are "unbelievable", so maybe I am wrong... There is my explanation: Rybka is somehow what I would like to see in a program; I mean strong positionally and a killer once it has an advantage. Shredder is similar too. The shredder 9 version book was the best compromise I could make to suite the program style and give a lot of alternatives and fun for the owners, but because of the huge chess knowledge of Rybka it does like that book a lot (as already reported); maybe even more than Shredder. I am considering to test the latest Shredder10.bkt pr.h version to see if it is even better as I think so...maybe against Toga II 1.1a as it seems a very good program too. > >> >>I know you do not have it, but I have to tell you... > >I thought the same when i read the conditions.
