Anil: I don't know if the particular version of Shredder that people here are discussing is
available just yet but this is the web site you might try to
enquire about it.

Thank You, Allan.

The version of Shredder which played is a complete rewrite. Stefan only started the rewrite at the beginning of the year. It's a bitboards engine, as opposed to the letterbox structure used in previous versions. Stefan had also implemented a novel multi threading algorithm which seems to scale extremely well.

He said he's aiming to have it released before the end of the year.

I think it's got a good chance of eventually competing for the #1 position.
