Shredder 11

Shredder 11 is almost out! No other program in the past few years has been able to win as many world championship titles as Shredder. The programmer of Shredder, Stefan Meyer-Kahlen, has been hard at work, so that this record run is in no danger of being broken. Shredder 11, is stronger than any previous version, improving over its predecessor by about 100 FIDE rating points. The new version implements a new evaluation function which delivers more realistic assessments and more efficient search techniques. The reason behind Shredder's massive improvement in performance is the massive reprogramming of its evaluation function, which helps it deliver even more precise judgments. Shredder's evaluation of passed pawns has also been greatly improved. A new feature is the 'Opening Advisor', which allows Shredder to handle opening lines much better without the need to rely on an openings book. All of these improvements lead to more realistic and reliable results during your chess analysis. Shredder 11 is also completely Windows Vista-compatible thanks to the latest Fritz interface.
