The copy protection on the ChessBase dvds is the same for all engines -
when I upgraded from Junior10 to 10.1 it asked for the dvd to check I
was a genuine owner, but other than that I've never been asked to insert
the Hiarcs, Junior, Fritz or Shredder originals after original
installation. I've very occasionally heard others say 'have to put my
Fritz/Shredder/Hiarcs/Junior dvd in once a month' but it's never
happened to me?!

Cheers - Eric

www.chessbase.comhas many engines for download and its free,

I took a look there, but couldn't find any...can you give me a better
link please?

http://www.chessbase.com/download/index.asp

Select "Engines" or "UCI-Engines" from the dropdown list and press
"select program"

They don't make it very obvious.

There are a few other interesting engines around on an experimental
basis. Check for previous threads.

but comercial
engines,..... I dont know, I think you have to pay.

Yup...that's what it looks like...thanks for the reply Bark.

I reckon Shredder 10 is well worthwhile buying as a very different
playing style to Fritz.

I dislike HIARCS and Junior for tacky copy protection that requires
you to carry the original CD around.
