Only a minority care about strength in engine-engine matches.
For Shredder my wishes is that he does something with the analysis feature. Now it will too often try a repetition (mostly in endgames) before he goes for the best move. Maybe this is as simple as not allowing 2 rep. in the search. If this affect the playing strength, this could be applied only to analysis. There is also much creative work to do in the gui around the limit strength feature to make it even more fun to play against Shredder.
