We feel >optimistic about the outcome. You are admitting what other programmers maybe do not. But it doesn't matter to me if he works on it for only half an hour, if the results are fantastic. BUT, nevertheless, I would have prefered that all the time I'm waiting, forthe whole year, it is being worked on. I mean, if it was, then wouldn't it get to be 200 elo stronger? whereas if he only does it for a few weeks, it will only get 50 elo stronger (if that)? > >> >>I really would have liked to feel that it's being worked on the whole year, not >>just a few small improvements, just to get to the top, with plenty left for the >>next upgrade (Shredder 11). > >The next upgrade will be Shredder 10...I am sure it will be stronger than 9...it >must be. I mean, Shredder 9 might be 50 elo better and Shredder 11 another 50 = 100 elo stronger than 9? Why not put it all into Shredder 10, so that it would be 100 stronger, if not 200? > >>Waiting in great anticipation! >>S.Taylor >> >>n.b.

But I'm not so interested in just about winning the fight overall. I'm waiting years already for a really finished product, which is much stronger in every way, espially when computer is alone without books, and that the strength comes from great and correctly applied chess knowledge. But all this is perhaps not the comercial way of seeing things! S.Taylor > >Sandro
