About this game

You can adjust Shredder’s playing strength from beginner to master level. If you like, Shredder automatically adjusts his strength to yours. He even calculates an Elo rating for you. This is how the playing strength of chess players is typically measured.

The absolute best chess software available. Period. I have bought and used almost every major chess platform and software on the market, both online and offline. Shredder Chess remains the most reliable sparring partner I return to every single evening. If you love chess, you need to try this product and support these independent developers—they absolutely deserve it. Also, note that the excellent new Deep Shredder 14 is now available for Windows, Mac, and Linux! Highly recommended.

I like the game but I find the 'TACTICS' mode a bit lacking. In the game mode you cannot move onto an invalid square. In the tactics mode there is a huge, annoying dialog that pops up to tell you. An invalid move should be represented by the target square going red. When the problem has been completed an other huge dialog appears to tell you. This should not cover the board as one wants to review the moves and check the final position to learn what the best moves were.

its great honestly, but can u just add some feature like copy paste PGN and also a much better analysis? it's kind of weird to see that this app lost track of the real game board movement as soon as im trying some trial and error when analyzing my game :/, i mean, make the game movement (chess notation) become "recursive-like" (look at lichess for example), and also somehow there's a really short time of freeze (most people wont notice it but I did) when you make a move
