This is nice. Thanks :)

No advertising, but you may get the Classic (Demo) free of
charge at
http://www.shredderchess.com/chess-program/shredder-classic-3-linux.html
Concerning engine parameters it is identical to the others
up to DeepShredder 11, only playing strength is limited (and
except the Deep the Shredders don't know about SMP). The
pure engine lives in the engine/ subdir of the full
installation.
Notes about integration with other software can be found at

(It's still for V9, I've to update the page, but the
essentials are the same.)

Funny, isn't it? Seems no OS programmer cares about the use
of the program here for training purposes. :( I mean how
should I beat a program located in the area of > 2800. (Ok,
I admit I'm slightly weaker than Kasparov...)
