For some reason , when I try to patch Fritz 7 automatically when I log onto playchess, the download fails. Are the patches downloadable from any website?

Is this study correct ? Kasparián G. 2 ième prix Schachmaty v SSSR 1948 White wins Position : White : King b3

Forgive my intrusion, but since this is (AFAIK) the first time this has been done I think some of the people in these newsgroups could be interested. There will be no future posts like this as those that are interested can watch the site once they know it exists. I have just placed a pre-alpha version of a bitmap based Chinese Chess engine on http://sourceforge.net/projects/xiangqi-engine . ...

Hello! Does anyone have a manual to Kasparov Chess Computer Galileo? Regards Nokke

My favorite part of the Chessmaster series hsa got to be the "Josh Games" in the Classroom. As a patzer, I find it incredibly easy to follow when someone speaks the moves, variations, and context of the position. Kudos Chessmaster! What other programs offer such simple ways to learn? I'm not looking for mountains of text that show a zillion variations and expect my to just understand why the...

Hi, Does anyone have a reasonable estimate of the playing strength of this thing? I've surfed the web and can only find an unsubstantiated quote estimating its blitz rating at 2450, which is not very revealing! I'm interested in whether I will find it useful as an analysis tool when i cant be bothered to switch on ;-) or dont have access to my pc or laptop. I am a 2300 player (2326 national,...

I have recently bought a new copy of Fritz 7 (american version through Ebay) and a second hand version of Junior 8. They appear to have the same problem. he Junior 8 will use the Junior engine to analyse a position but not a game. when asked to do so it says it it not the right engine cd. I thought I had bought a dodgy copy though it looked genuine but the Fritz 7 has a similar problem. Has...

What if I swith to a Radeon 9700 instead for my old Geforce4MX400 videocard, could the switch make the chessprogram Fritz 8 a better player or may a switch to a better monitor instead to increase its strength??

I just bought and installed Shredder 7 on my new computer (op system: Windows XP Home) and am trying to setup the Shredder 7.04 UCI engine. So I downloaded "setup shredder 7.04 uci.exe" from the ChessBase website, but when I click on it I get this error message: Error: (a red X) Don't read C:\Program Files\ChessBase\Engines\setup shredder 7.04 uci.exe Is there some trick to make it work with...

Does anyone know if it's possible (or easy) to create training databases that can be used by Pocket Fritz 2 or PocketGrandmaster 2 with Chessbase 8 (or other tool)? I believe they are standard PGN files, but I'm not sure. Thanks! Tom

I remember looking at the explanation of how to set up Latex a while back and deciding that it wasn't worth the trouble. I have been exporting to .html files instead and editing them in Word before printing. Is there any real advantage to using Latex? With LaTeX (I prefer PDFLaTeX) you just can do anything....

Chessbase has a new article on using Fritz8 as a teaching tool, vaunting its various levels of play etc, and claiming that it is better than Chessmaster for weak playing levels. Now I love Fritz and I wold choose it over any other chess program if I could choose only one, but one should note that the author of this article says that he has a rating of 900 (!), which rather limits his ability to...

Hello, I bought today Kasparov Chessmate from Hexacto. The box says that inside are the free PalmOS and Pocket PC version. This is what decided me to purchase it instead of CM9000. .... There is NO palmOS version. The install program just tries to download it by ftp, but since palmOS versionis not released yet (see hexacto.com product page), it doesn't get it.
