The software of course is identical but the engines I'm sure have
different playing styles. One would have to play a lot of games against both to detect the style. Shredder is perhaps slightly stronger engine based on strength...

Why?
If you just want a chess playing opponent or trainer, Fritz 7 is fine. Fritz 8 and Shredder 8 don't offer much new in those departments...except some new bugs. If you want it for infinite analysis, don't get Shredder 8 which is incredibly buggy for that purpose. Get Fritz 8 or Junior 8, or better yet - Deep Fritz 8 if you can afford it. If you just want to find the best move in a position, ignoring the analysis, Shredder 8 is the top choice. -E "Tim Tenley" wrote in message om... I have Fritz 7 and enjoy its features.

Junior 8 would also be a good choice.
I have read that it might be an alternative at long games, but as far as I know it's weak at anything faster. |
