1)Is the tripple brain better or worse than one of the engines?(It leads to the
question if shredder5 is the best program in the package or maybe it is possible
to improve it by using the tripple brain of shredder5 and another engine)

2)Does the tripple brain give the engines equal time or does it decide which
engine to choose after a part of the search?

3)You say that the tripple brain will use the search information of the engines.
In order to use the search information of the engines you need to know it.

The only information that I get from programs without free source code is
usually only evaluations,times,depth and main lines.
Do you call this information the search information?
