I played on it today, I love especially its user friendly interface, very easy to learn, and most interesting, this is the first time that I can enjoy by playing against machine, I set it up on elo 1500, and I played three games one hour per game, it plays more like human.
Chessmaster plays very strong and then start to drop pieces, here you have opportunity to exploit his tactical mistakes, there was a lot of discoveries, combinations, very interesting, usually chess engines play at full strength and then start to drop pieces to compensate, I hate this.Here is not the case, if you look deep into position you can find beautifull combinations sometimes, it can really help you to become sharp tactician I think.
Shredder is really serious chess program...

Anyone use it? I have fritz and cmx 10 but shredder seems like nice alternative, very clean and clear interface... I downloaded demo...
