wow , i did not think it was that much elo ..

What is Fritz eleven then ? You mite be right to save your money on the
new Fritz because it could not be much more , maybe 2900 elo ?
Or has it made 3000 , elo ?

You should look into the one id get HIRCS ,
If i had a real computer id be playing that vs other computers all the
time ...

i would write down all the time limits , 5 min , I0 , 20 , 30 , 45 to
one hour games and keep track of the wins , loses , and draws it has vs
other programs at each of those time limits as black and white and try
and find out the sweet spot . The time limit it wins the most at ...

Id want my program to destroy other programs and crush their silicon
brains.....ha ha ha....

I feel that way about Ivan too , i have played it vs Fritz 9 and lost as
black and white ...On one end game Ivan had his rook protecting a lowly
pawn while Fritz was attacking the King , i kept yelling at Ivan to move
the rook to help the King and by the time Ivan woke up and stated to
move the rook over to help it was pretty much over...ha ha ha.....
I can see Ivans weakness in the end game when it plays powerful
programs but i am not good enough to exploit it myself when i play
Ivan......
