So, my copy of Fritz 9 arrived in the mail yesterday (excellent fast service from Chess House), and of course I installed it right away. My question is this: while "The Turk" is visually slick (even if the moving hand freezes over the board at times) and the full-physics model of piece movement on full-screen 3d boards is rather astounding (even if at times it reluctantly recognizes my attempted...

Greetings, If this is a faq please forgive me and point me in the right direction. I am dreaming of an open source electronic something akin to Polgar's doorstop "Chess."

Or am I failing to grok some standard feature of some existing...

In my copy of Hiarcs 8, when I go into "engine parameters" and change things, the next time I fire up Hiarcs those changes are no longer there, even when I click "save" in engine parameters. Is there something else I have to do or is this another thing the program just doesn't seem to remember after you quit, like the time left on the clocks?

The ad for the upcoming Fritz 9 with an apparant emphasis on the Turk and associated spectacular graphics.......................is Fritz pandering to a younger, less serious market? The other stuff, "stronger chess engine," "positional trainer" and so forth, does any of that significantly improve the program? Naturally, I'm suckered and will end up with it after agonizing over the decision for...
