Well, we just started working on the engine and even if improved it is not as good as we want, but we have still time before Shredder 10 will be released so we should not worry about this. We will try to be above all by at least 50 points, but we are not at that level now. > >(I'm sure it should have won now, too, but perhaps he didn't leave himself >enough time [OR, it was a bad start, and there wern't enough games]) Well, 2004 and 2005 have been bad years as far as the development of Shredder is concerned. I had to move to Lucca (not to far from Florence) and move again to the new house in October this year (so twice; also look for the house take care of works to be done etc...) besides that I was extremely busy with my work (I am a Sales Office Manager) as the move was related to move the office as well and I had to hire almost all new people and give a training to all of them as the sales should not suffer from this. We did achive a very good result both last year and this year, but could not work much on the book as my free time was quite limited. My book cooperator had similar problems as his father died and later his mother too and he could not work on the book as well. Stefan did several new release as far as commercial products and did not work on the engine until recently. So, we are all now back to work, but we need some time to prepare it and we plan to be ready for Torino. All I could do was to prepare the new Shredder 10 book 95%...not trying to find excuses but there is an explanation to everything...so for those who are funs of Shredder be confident we all are back working on it...and motivated! > >S.Taylor Sandro
