No other program in the past years was able to win as many world championship titles as the Shredder technology. The new version, Deep Shredder 12, is stronger than its predecessor with its performance improved by about 100 Elo points. This was achieved by implementing more efficient search techniques and a new evaluation function which delivers more realistic assessments. Shredder still likes to go on the attack, but is not as speculative as previous versions. The evaluation of passed pawns has also been greatly improved. All of this leads to more reliable and realistic results during your analysis with the computer. A completely new feature is the 'Opening Advisor', which allows Shredder to handle opening lines much better without the help of an openings book.
