So I take it that no one here knows the answer. Okay I get it! Then keep the Jokes coming. :lol:

PS: Should have wrote Shredder

We dont know much as everything is kept Classified. I heard that this time around the fisherman will have a much better lure to work with.

SMK is known for innovation in computerchess, and he is still a relatively young guy although his track record of trophy's suggest he's close to retirement age. Just last year he released the superfast Shredderbases on top of Shredder already being the best (OK, next to some fish) endgame vehicle. He may very well be poised to hit back hard with a renewed weapons concept, like big champs tend to do just when it looks like they are losing it. Anyway, i would not put my savings and pension scheme on an ugly piece of dead meat knowing there is a state-of-the-art German crafted doomsday machine coming up to change life on the seven seas forever (i think).

My guess is that he will focus mainly on the engine. He was on top for a long time, so I am sure that is a big concern. I wrote him a long time ago about when a new engine will be out and he said June of 2007. :shock: Since it isn't out one would assume the engine is not matching up as well as he would like yet.

I have not noticed too many significant changes in the GUI over the years.

Hi all

Yes, fishing will be much better with the next Shredder but think about what happens in the water, most fishes there get away if you start fising - just some get caught!

We need a better net, and a more stealthy fisherman.
