this time it works hopefully till the end.
Shredder GUI is much better for tournaments.
Especially in case of trouble, you can easy resume.

Can i ask why Fritz GUI is avoided?

Arena 3.5.1 appears to have 4096 MB limit.

Hello Clemens:

Thank you very much. The best thing to me was seeing Shredder 160625. I guess that you do not know Stefan's plans of releasing a new version, or you are not allowed to talk about it. Am I right?

Regards from Spain.

I avoided to use the Fritz gui. Sometimes it is hard or impossible to resume tournamnts. Maybe it my fault, maybe gui.
In shredder GUI tournaments can be much better controlled and games resumed.
Just the live presentation is more effort.
