Does anybody know a good comparison (strength and features) of all the available chess programs for the PPC? RBS

With this my excuses for starting a Fischer-discussion on computerchess-newsgroup. I only recently discovered the group rec.games.chess.politics., which comes closer (maybe rec.games.chess.psychobabbel is an idea). My Fritz 8 is fine, but I was wondering if anyone knows something about Fritz for Fun. Which version of Fritz is this? -- Met vriendelijke groeten, Ruud

After making a blunder in a drawn position, I loaded up Junior to see where I went wrong. Imagine my surprise when Junior 8 suggested the same blunder as I made!! www.brainking.com]

All, From everything I have read Fritz is THE program to have if I want to be serious about computer chess. I currently have Chessmaster 10 and think it is fine, but I can see how Fritz might handle database imports and analysis better. My question is when I go to chessbase.com to check out Fritz I get this: http://tinyurl.com/457bc

hello, I have posted a few of my games here around a month back, and i have had quite a lot of valuable advice from these groups. Based on one of the leads i have got from here, i was checking out the Dans Novice Nook column in Chess Cafe. Dan says after Tactical patterns, the next best thing to work on are (1) Thought process and (2) Time Mgmt. Now that i have had my rounds with Bains book...

1. One of my machines (Pentium4 1.5Mz, 512Mo RAM) runs under Win98SE. CB9 seems to suck all the ressources and openings 2 ou 3 windows (as in "player dossier" or "opening report") brings the available system ressources down to close to nill ! CB8 and CB7 run fine on my machine... So far CB9 seems OK on my other machine with WinXP SP1 (but see point 2). Anyone having the same problem ? 2. Open a...

Does anybody happen to know where (or if) the last patch for Fritz 6 is available for download?

Hard to believe he is retiring from Chess to pursue politics. Wonder who is going to step up to fill his shoes? Is he going to resign his title? How is that going to work?

Fischer battered the Russians when he still played. After that jews and Americans are to blame for everything that is wrong in his life. Now the Japanese are the Bad ones. Meanwhile he looks like a hobo and it seems to me he supported several criminal governments (Yugo, Terrorists blowing up WTC). Iceland helps him now, but why? I played his games many times and I admire his play, but nowadays...

Now that CB 9 is out, I figured the price would come down on CB 8 but it hasnt. I just need a stand alone copy, I already have the big 2002 database discs... But all they sell are these expensive mega packs for $150.00. Where can I get a good price for cb 8? Or perhaps Id buy 7 for a good price... Wahooka

I just wanted to post this as I've received my copy of Junior 9 today and installed it...to my almost shocking horror because this version wipes out the figurine notation capability from the fonts on your computer. When I installed it...I had no other choice but install it...there is no eng file to drop into the Chessbase directory anymore...I tried to find it on the CD...but it's not there. So...

Why is it that when I play engine vs engine match with Shredder 9 its search depth goes down to 2 untill it looses the entire game after move 25. Any fix or patch for this problem?

Hello Chess Friends, I ahve downloaded Arena 1.1 and alot of chess engiens from eMule. The problem is that the chess engines work with arena only when they are in ..exe format. But most of my engines are comeing with 2 files likes this. Hiarc9.eng and Hiarc9.dll

Is there a way to add your own photos to this? How would you do so? Regards, A. Smith

I store games I've played in tournaments in separate files. eg: C:\cb60\Frem\2004\ClubChamp for last year's club chamionship. Is there a quick way of retrieving all games against a particular player in several tournaments? And is there a better way of organising databases to make such a job easier? / spam=ray

SCID can be used for opening training with the tree window, but unfortunately, it does not use the different variations present in each game. A workaround could be to generate a separate game for each variation, but this is a long task (I don't know if there is already a function for this), and I want both to have the main lines with variations in each game for learning, and to be able to train...
