Winning starts with what you know
The new version 18 offers completely new possibilities for chess training and analysis: playing style analysis, search for strategic themes, access to 6 billion Lichess games, player preparation by matching Lichess games, download Chess.com games with built-in API, built-in cloud engine and much more.
What lies behind Shredder's massive improvement in performance is the work which has been done overhauling the evaluation function, which now delivers even more precise judgements. This can also be seen in the playing style of the program. Shredder 11 still enjoys playing attacking chess, but does so in a less speculative way than in earlier versions.

These positive results also help with analysis. The more accurate evaluations confer more reliability on Shredder’s judgements and suggested lines of play. Shredder 11 has also improved in its evaluation of passed pawns.
In addition there is a totally new and important function, “Opening Advisor”. This allows Shredder to handle openings much better, without specific knowledge of the said openings. As usual, Shredder 11 comes complete with compressed endgame databases, the “Shredderbases”, which give the program an access to perfect endgame knowledge with unrivaled speed.
On the DVD you will also find the further improved Shredder opening book, the Fritz 10 user interface with its many functions for beginners, club players and grandmasters as well as access (for 12 months) to the world’s premier chess server Schach.de. Thanks to the latest Fritz interface, the new Shredder 11 is also completely Vista-compatible.
Deep Shredder 11 is the multi-processor version for PCs with several processors, and also the one best suited to the now very common Dual Core PCs.

At the same time Deep Shredder 11 has its Shredderbases in a special version, which raises the speed of access to the endgame information by a factor of 10 compared to the standard version.
