 | | WannaBe: <midknightblue> You should change the setting, take off the 'coach is watching option'. <nfazli> If the rest of your computer's color scheme looks right, try opening your Fritz->tools->options->design and you can change the way you want your board to look. |

| | WannaBe: <something1234> Sorry, I do not know the answer to that question. <midknightblue: <Fritz> may I ask you a question?...> who is <fritz>? Is he/she a new member on CG?? =) |
|
| Mar-05-06 | | roni.chessman: Well if you put Fritz in Hydra's hardware, I bet no superGM will come close to beating it. Good bye humans! hahahahahha! </end laugh> |
|
| Mar-05-06 | | midknightblue: <Wanna> no i am just talking to a computer program as a joke. noone laughed. it is ok. i wil need to be more clever next time (and funnier hopefully) |

| Mar-06-06 | | Stevens: ok, i have a question regarding Fritz and trying to estimate my rating. If i use the Rated Game function it introduces things like stake money and betting, and won't let me view the moves in the normal score sheet window. I hate both of these points, why suddely introduce betting into a serious chess engine? So, if i play in handicap mode, i can set the elo to, for example, 1650. My question is... how many games should i play against this level to get a relatively good idea of my strength? And if for example i get a performance rating of +94 after 20 games, how does this equate to my strength opposed to the 1650 elo that i have set? Ie does +94 after 20 games mean my elo would be about 1744 (1650+94)? Or half that? Or double?? Hope this makes sense! |

| Mar-07-06 | | MrMojoRisin: Hi, I am wondering if someone could please explain something to me about Fritz. Whenever I set Fritz to analyze a position, after something like 10 minutes the depth would be something like 14/40. But then if I leave it for another hour or so the depth will change to 14/14. So can someone please explain what the depth feature actually means. This is what the help feature on Fritz says... <The search depth tells you how many moves deep the search has progressed. The value is in “ply” or half-moves. The first number gives you the “brute force” depth, the second is the depth to which certain critical lines have been investigated. The value is in “ply” or half-moves. For instance a display of “depth = 12/29” means that the program has looked at every continuation to a depth of 12 ply (six moves), while some promising or dangerous continuations are being examined up to a depth of 29 ply.
>
So why would the depth change from 14/40 to 14/14. Wouldnt you expect it to be the other way around, i.e. the longer you leave it analyzing the bigger the numbers would get. Hope that made sense. |
|
| Mar-08-06 | | jcr2001: maybe Fritz got lazy... :P
Ok, seriously, I'm curious about that too. I haven't got Fritz to analyse a position so long so I never noticed this before. Anyone knows? |
|
Mar-08-06
| | WannaBe: I take it this is on infinite analysis?? |
|
| Mar-08-06 | | MrMojoRisin: Yes it is while it is on infinite analysis. |
|
Mar-08-06
| | WannaBe: trying it out on my right now...
|
|
Mar-08-06
| | WannaBe: Did you notice the move number change? Or the move itself is different? I'm not quite seeing the same behavior. How long did you leave it running for? |
|
| Mar-09-06 | | MrMojoRisin: Actually, I think I may have had it wrong. I just got Fritz to analyze the same position again, and it was it a depth of 14/43 and then after a while changed to 15/15 then soon after went up to 15/42. I must have got the numbers mixed up the other day, because I thought the depth was decreasing over time, but after testing it again now, it seems to be going good. Thanks for helping <Wannabe> :) |

| Mar-09-06 | | hitman84: How come <Fritz> has never Kibitzed on his/her forum ? |
|
| Mar-10-06 | | Mongolia: How sweet things would be if Fritz was female... |
|
| Mar-12-06 | | jcr2001: <Mongolia> It is actually a he right? I'm not too sure. :( I wish <Fritz> would help us out with analysis, just like what Crafty is doing... :) But still, I prefer Rybka over him. |
|
| Mar-13-06 | | Exir: I have a question: What will be the result of Fritz vs Fritz, or Deep Junior vs Deep Junior, or any match like that? Had anyone tried to do something like that? |
|
| Mar-13-06 | | MrMojoRisin: <Exir> I suspect that if you were to do a Fritz-Fritz game then it would likely end up a draw. Provided of course that the same engine version is used for both Black and White (ie. Fritz 8 vs Fritz 8) and also that the same CPU speed is used and also the same amount of RAM is used for both Black and White. |
|
| Mar-13-06 | | Exir: <MrMojoRisin> What will happen with the moves? will both sides play the same moves and copy each other, since they are the same engines? |
|
| May-06-06 | | Chess Classics: <Exir> More importantly, if Fritz plays Fritz, will it talk to itself? =) Regards,
CC |

| May-06-06 | | Dionyseus: <Exir> You ask a good question. Clones, or more specifically exact copies, should draw all their games because they do not hold any advantage over each other. Rybka is clearly the strongest chess engine ever made. I managed to make an exact copy of the latest Rybka 1.2f (and called it Rybka 1.2z) and had it play against each other in 20 minute blitz, here's the result: [Event "ALEX-2005, Blitz:20'"]
[Site "ALEX-2005"]
[Date "2006.05.06"]
[Round "1"]
[White "Rybka 1.2f 32-bit"]
[Black "Rybka 1.2z 32-bit"]
[Result "1/2-1/2"]
[ECO "D18"]
[PlyCount "181"]

| May-23-06 | | Stevens: Hi all. Can anyone help me with this query? How do you get to see the openings when you view the games in a database on Fritz 8 (and probably 9 too) I can only set the format to show the players, result, tournament, and either the opening code (which means little to me) or the first move or two. I can't get it to say the actual opening. Is this possible? |
|
May-23-06
| | WannaBe: <Stevens> I have not been able to get either Fritz8/Shredder9 to do that. When I view the game's DB or the one that I've compiled of my own games, it shows the ECO, (A01) instead of the name, Nimz-Larsen Attack. I'll dig around for you. |
|
| May-23-06 | | Stevens: thanks <wannabe> it's not just me then! i dont know about anyone else, but things like C12 and D41 mean much less to me than a simple opening name. There must be a way to display this to make browsing games much easier, isn't there?! |
|
| May-23-06 | | whatthefat: <Dionyseus: Clones, or more specifically exact copies, should draw all their games because they do not hold any advantage over each other.> Not necessarily. Occasionally, errors can be made by one side that don't appear until beyond the search horizon, i.e., beyond the best line that both sides are looking at. And then there's also the effect of opening books. |
