Peter,

sorry but you are VERY superficial AND WRONG with this statement:

1. Shredder 8 was stronger than Shreder 9 if tested in UCI version which SSDF
did not and using a more updated book which was not available with the CB
version. Now I was telling 40-50 points stronger than 7.04 UCI as 25 being for
the UCI and the updated book.

2. This score was the one that was seen by whom tested the UCI version and
reported here too.

3. I also mentioned that these were estimated data as I did not have time enough
to make very many test games...now after some years the difference between 7.04
UCI and 8.0 CB is 4 points which added to 25 makes 29 so not so far away from
what I reported...11 points are not so much as you cannot see them in the
games...

4. For Shredder 9 I was talking about 30 points as estimation even if I said
that I did not want to tell this data. Now considering that this engine has been
the leader for so long and that everybody tested against it it is clear that the
actual elo is suffering from this. So, since it is 13 points now I think my
estimation was quite good!

>Now suddenly Shredder is going to be 150 - 200elo stronger than version 9? LOL!

You need to understand that this for us is a must and not advertisement...I did
not say we have the program already 150 points stronger or 200, but that we are
working a lot on it to reach that goal...

Do you find anything claimed wrong on this?

You are going to loose all you have one day, so my suggestion is to think more
before making those statements!:-))

Pls. take note that we will sell you the bridge connecting Sicily if we reach
the goal we are working on and you will have to buy it as you esposed yourself
to the world with this claim!:-)

Seriously speaking everybody can state anything, but if you claim about false
statements on someone you need to be clear and precise otherwise everybody will
be laughing at you and this is also not deserved by someone which has devoted so
much time to this field as only very few people did not only from a time spent
but also as seriously talking on it.
