Subject: Selectivity Settings in Shredder3, Hiarcs7.32 and Fritz5.32

On German commercial Shredder site
http://www.computerchess.de/shredder/news.html you will find the following
position:
5n2/B3K3/2p2Np1/4k3/7P/3bN1P1/2Prn1P1/1q6 w - -
If you set Shredder's selectivity tab on maximum value, Shredder will indicate
mate in 30 within few seconds. My Hiarcs 7.32 and Fritz 5.32 programs, however,
are not able to find this solution. Does Shredder have an advantage over Hiarcs
or Fritz in this kind of positions? Well, I know that this kind of examples are
not the only criterion to evaluate common strength of a chess program, but
nevertheless, it is quite interesting. Who can help me with some own experiences
with regard to selectivity settings in ChessBase programs? Thank you very much
for your help.

Regards, Frank
