Subject: about shredder

Shredder hasn't lost a game in paderborn or wmccc.  It probably did so badly in
Enrique's tournament because its book was not tuned.
For the next version, i would like to see more personality options, like in
chessmaster or rebel.  I find chessmaster and shredder to be the best programs,
shredder is more entertaining though, but cm is just as strong.  Chess Genius 5
or 6 also seems to be stable - it never makes mistakes which would single
handedly lose a game to a program, but it sometimes makes antipositional moves
-a human is not impressed.  Fritz has a very good style, but it sometimes makes
very stupid moves.  Rebel also has a good style, but it's not very stable and i
once whipped it tactically.  I'm not very impressed with junior or hiarcs
because they often make "computer moves".  I don't have any other programs.
I have the best score against fritz or rebel.  Worst against chessmaster - it's
got the worst style for a human.  But a gm could overcome that.
I'm writing this coz i feel like it.  You must be so dumb and so "have no life"
if you've read all this shit up to this point.
And i don't think i was making any point with this message.  Just testing my
creativity and my typing speed.  It's hard to come up with senseful sentences
when you're not thinking about them.
