Shredder 10 Review
Written by John Knightly
There is no software today that has won as many computer chess events as Shredder. Shredder 10 was written by Stefan Meyer-Kahlen of Germany. The new version 10 has been drastically improved and can play about 80 Elo points better then the previous version. We are glad to say that the improvements in Shredder 10 are not just in the fact that it is stronger then rivals on the market. Shredder 10 is a very strong analytical tool that is good for amateur and expert players. Shredder 10 has an extremely powerful endgame database that is used in a very unique way.
