Shredder 7 and Shredder 7.04's evaluation function is too optimistic. Nonetheless, Shredder 7.04 is probably the strongest engine on the market. I do have a gripe too about its opening book in the ChessBase GUI, since it's not nearly restrictive enough. I've manually corrected this on my Schredder, so it's very strong (it now plays only MY opening lines that I play in Correspondence Chess). Sandro Necchi, the author of Shredder's Book is correct that the Shredder Classic GUI restricts its openings to only the strongest lines. I also believe that version 7.04 is clearly stronger than 7. This is especially evident as the time-control increases. As for Shredder's strengths/weaknesses, here's my review, found at ChessCafe.com: http://www.chesscafe.com/text/review365.pdf All the best, Stephen
