Have any of you also experienced CPU spiking to 100 % when running Vektor 3? I see it all of the time. i have a 1.5 GHZ Mac mini with 512 MB RAM. Not a powerhouse, but I don't expect CPU to go 100% when doing permanent analysis. Many of you suggested I try Sigma in my other thread. Does it also suffer from CPU spiking? Is there another good program that I should try besdies these...

What is the best setting?

Hello. I am new to the group and am looking for some advice. I recently switched from Windows to a Mac and would like to know which Mac program (preferably free) is good to use for playing against the computer, analysing games, and playing back pgn files and possibly some DB searching. I used Fritz 7 on my Windows machine and liked it. Is there something similar in the Mac world? I...

Thanks to Dave for turning me onto this program. First PPC ICC interface that's ever worked for me. However, it seems that it has an "engine" loaded at all times. Does anyone know if I need to register an account as a computer-playing account (C) to use this interface?

What's the best Mac OS X client for FICS? I am trying out Jin and like it so far, but would like a client that makes it easier to find and watch games. As I see it now I need to use the terminal commands "games" and "observe" to do it and it is hard this way. I'd prefer an interface similar to cgoban used to play Go games on KGS. Thanks, John

I've written a small UNIX/Linux shell script that reads from a PGN file containing one or more chess games and adds to the PGN file either: for each game played. So you can search games in a database based on the type of game.

Hi, Any of you I think heard at least once something like "backgammon is the second poker" and it's really so. But nothing about chess. And this is third game in this list. All this games are more "skill" then "chance". I would like to offer you to try online backgammon game where you can play free of charge with other users worldwide:

I reported the problem to Chessbase about the incompatibilty between Pocket Fritz 2 and the chessbase database. Move statistics no longer work.

Thank you for pointing us into this direction and naturally for...

Would you like to play a GAME of CHESS? http://alphavenue.us/forums/view.php?pg=playchess4fun

At one point in the dim and distant past I compiled crafty to run on a Sun which had 4 CPUs. I believe it was a Sun SPARCstation 20, with 32-bit SuperSPARC CPUs but it might possibly have been a quad processor Sun Ultra 80 with 64-bit UltraSPARC CPUs. I've no idea of what version ofd crafty it was. I've downloaded the latest crafty (20.14), but it refuses to compile if I try to define SMP...

Hi. Does anyone have any info on level settings for the Novag Beluga? Thanks, Ray.

There seem to be several problems with Pocket Fritz 2 - * I can't get it to connect to the Chessbase server. * Various installation issues Does anybody know if Chessbase plan to develop it any more?

Hello all Your recommendation please. I want to write a chess engine. I know Delphi very well. I know C a little. All major chess engines are written in C, but how does that compare to Delphi?? Do you think that it is worth learning C to implement a good engine (I'm aiming for 2100 elo at least) or will Delphi be good enough? In short - is the language a critical factor in writing chess...

I cannot get Pocket Fritz 2 to install on my new Dell Axim running Windows Mobile. Has anyone been able to install it on a WM device? I really enjoyed Pocket Fritz 2 on my old iPaq. I'm going to be bummed if I have to go to another program. Thank you

from the 1st of august, guests can't play anymore on the ICC. Only for registered users. I think thats the end:( Karl K.

Today I decided to play your engine. Within a dozen moves, I easily won a knight. Then my computer crashed. When I came back my game was still there. Very cool! Well, I exchanged some pieces to head towards a won endgame, when my browser crashed. Sigh. I came back to your site and it again plopped me down into a game... but it wasn't my game. Instead, this is some pathetic game where White is...

Has anybody seen a preview of the upcoming ICC software release ? They have indicated some great enhancements are to be released this month and I am curious what to expect?
