„Maybe a new shredder version ... soon...“

that’s a sentence like Loch Ness Nessie obvervations.

When did shredder 13 came onto the market ?

[Frank Quisinsky]

Hi Thorsten,

you can find the contact address from Stefan on the web site!
You have the possibilty to genrate a news for all of us.

Your chance to do a bit!
Maybe more interesting as to write "Loch Ness Nessie" messages?

Just help yourself in this service desert is the motto here!

"Most successful chess program ever".

Yeah, that would be Stockfish.

Money pushes them to deceive. They ask for 50$ more to get access to the multi-threaded version of Shredder 13. This is a borderline scam, SMP has been a standard feature for many years and is present in the 8-10 free engines stronger than Shredder.

I'll also throw in there that I put little faith in engines that have sudden massive leap in strength after many years without any news and that have suspicious simex results...

Hi Alayan,

Shredder:
19 times computer chess World Champion!

I think you have a lot of fun with all the engines today, runs with UCI adapter.

It was a lot of work at this time!
More and more programs used the UCI protocol.

Arena helps here a lot with around 10 million downloads in the time I am working with Martin Blume on all important ideas!
3.5 million downloads alone in the last year before I made other things as Arena.

The UCI protocol is from Stefan Meyer-Kahlen.
Dieter Buerssner and Rudolf Huber are the others developers (a strong team).

Stefan Meyer-Kahlen told me via phone ...
Rudolf Huber is his ideal.
A very nice guy with enourmos knowledge in programmings, speaking from Rudolf Huber!!
SOS was only a small hobby project from him!

But we are very proud to geht it for Arena.
SOS for Arena



That was the biggest award Martin and I can get!!

Have fun with Stockfish and all the other engines today are available but you should know ...
That all have a history ... a causal chain ... and this causal chain isn't started with Stockfish / Glaurung / Gothmog!

And before UCI ... MCS
Or the most important Winboard protocol!!

A causal chain!

Sorry, but I am thinking I should hold the flag from a person with do so many things for all of us (Stefan Meyer-Kahlen).
We should respect the computer chess history.

Despite all the euphoria around Stockfish, LcO or Wasp

All the engines are only a small part for the way computer chess go.
And Stockfish is only one of around 900 available engines, not more and not less.

OK the strongest I think but not more or less!

I would like to start the thread because Stefan have a new web presentation.
I am thinking a very nice work.
Back to the main point ...

Pray tell, please do let us know when you feel you have achieved in your lifetime what Mr. Stefan Meyer-Kahlen has achieved.
