No other program in the past years was able to win as many world championship titles as Shredder. The new version, Shredder 11, is stronger than any previous version, with its performance improved by about 100 Elo points. This was achieved by implementing more effecient search techniques and a new evaluation function which delivers more realistic assessments. Shredder still likes to go on the attack, but is not as speculative as previous versions. The evaluation of passed pawns has also been greatly improved. All of this leads to more reliable and realistic results during your analysis with the computer. A completely new feature is the “Opening Advisor”, which allows Shredder to handle opening lines much better without the help of an openings book.
Included:
* Original Fritz 10 interface: Included in the Shredder 11 package is the latest Fritz interface with extensive training and entertainment features for beginners, club players and grandmasters.
* Shredder 11 also gives you full and free access to the ChessBase Playchess server (1 year), where you can play games against people all over the world. Naturally the Shredder 11 engine runs under the Fritz interface.
* Tournament openings book: The enhanced and extended Shredder openings book gives you full statistical information for every move that has been played in the current position. In addition you get a database with 1 million historic and current games.

ChessBase is currently testing new software that will give you direct access to the Playchess.com server on your cellphone. You can log in, watch games, follow broadcasts, even play against other visitors. This is possible using our client software Fritz Mobile, which is currently in the test phase.
  Â
What is required on your cel phone?
First of all you need to make sure you are using a GRPS capable cell phone, and that the GPRS service with your provider is properly configured.
Further your cellphone needs to have Java capability. Specifically it requires MIDP 2.0 (the Mobile Information Device Profile provided by Sun Microsystems for the use of Java on devices such as cell phones and PDAs) or CLDC 1.0 (Connected Limited Device Configuration, a Java application targeted at pagers and mobile phones).
Â
You probably do not have to worry about either of the above requirements, since all modern cellphones have GPRS and Java capability enabled. If you are not sure about it, read the manual of your cell phone or contact your provider. Alternatively you can simply try following our instructions and install Mobile Fritz. If it works, you know your cellphone has met all the requirements.

The exclusive annotated database. Contains more than 3.5 millions games from 1560 to 2006 in the highest ChessBase quality standard. 60,000 games contain commentary from top players, with ChessBase opening classification with more than 100,000 key positions, direct access to players, tournaments, middlegame themes, endgames. The largest topclass annotated database in the world. The most recent games of the database are from the middle of November 2006.
Mega 2007 also features a new edition of the playerbase. As usual, this is where most of the work was done. As the player index now contains already more than 180,000 entries, it made sense to use an adapted playerbase which includes about 200,000 names. Doing this, the photo database was extended as well to contain 27,000 pictures now.
System requirements: Pentium PC, Windows 2000/XP, 64 MB RAM, DVD-ROM drive, ChessBase 9.0, hard disk space requirements 1.6 GB
