all you say is true.
i know stefan in person.
but my personal opinion on this topic is that i think the price of the
deep version is to high.

anyway. it was clear that any kind of criticism would lead to senseless defenses from the fandom-scene.
a sacrileg to have a different opinion or to ask questions

i have no "problem" with shredder. why does any person believe i have?
because anybody sees my comment as an attack.

version 10 is old. and as it seems, we will have to wait for a stronger and better version. maybe until it has success in netherlands next championship.
maybe the jump in playing strength makes a new attractive product available.

but in the moment, and that is my opinion, the price is too high.

in times where you can get ARENA for free, you don't need a GUI anymore.
So i don't see a big point in getting another GUI for free.


@Daniel: concerning your request and the relation with hiarcs.
hiarcs11.1 MP is stronger than deepshredder10, isn't it ?



i am a little disapointed concerning Shredder. i thought stefan would try
to catch the top area again. but it seems he has not enough time in the moment.
lets hope the best for shredder11.

shredder for sure has to "fight" against Zapchess Zansibar (coming with 64 Bit GUI - a known GUI but at least a GUI that works under 64 Bit)
Hiarcs11.1 MP and Rybka.
And IMO relative to the those 3 opponents, the price is not justified.
in earlier times when there was no Zappa/Zapchess, no Rybka and not such a strong hiarcs, shredder products were always in the right area.
times have changed.
