Hello

The "Deep" Version is made for Computers with more than one CPU-CORE, eg Dual or Quad computers. Both Version are identical in play on one core. It might be that there is a difference in speed of the two engines of 1 or 2 %. But to determin the strength difference because of that is impossible! Of course a Dual Core System is usually stronger than a single core system if other parameters are identical.

I believe also that Shredder 11 comes with a single 32-bit engine, but that Deep Shredder 11 has both a 32-bit and a 64-bit engine - someone with Shredder 11 could comment

Shredder 11 comes with the 32 bit engine only. If you want the 64bit engine, you have to buy the deep version. I wonder how much faster is the current 64bit version. Is it still only 5-10 percent faster?

On the chess start_position I measured it 0% faster!

So I guess there isnt much to be expected from the 64bit version, about 10 points at the most, eh?
