Me too.

No doubt.

Absolutely correct.
Shredder plays the most sound games, not spectacular but solid.
So far I haven't seen some surprising fail-lows as Fritz e.g. has from time to
time, meaning that e.g. Fritz calculates up to depth 14 with 0.00 and makes the
move, the opponent answers and at depth 10-11 Fritz gets a fail-low down to
-2.xx or so. Never seen that in Shredder4 (of course there are other programs
too with the Fritz behaviour).

I'd be surprised. Shredder since V1.0 has the most stable GUI I have ever seen.
Absolutely NO crash!

Shredder 4 besides Fritz6/Junior6 is my favourite GUI.
