When they will be released?

Hope that Shredder will make a huge improvement to catch R3 and N4; hope to see a super aggressive Junior. But also i hope that each package will give as plenty of different engines like rybka did. In deed, for me it's important to have many engines. 1st it 's funny to test them, 2nd i don't think that giving those engines costs much more energy and time for the developingteam, because when they are tweaking their engines by slightly changing some of the features, they'll succeed certainly to find a more human or a more strategic or a more tactic playing style engine.

The developing team could also give us in part some of efficient beta engines without bugs, even if less strong in engine vs engine matches, but with a different, entertaining playing style.

I also prefer the engines like Shredder or the old Fritz versions, where we have plenty of options that we could modify trying to improve the engine, or seeking for our own preferred playing style, based on our favourite engine.

Any suggestions?
