Despite much praised conversion from 16 to 32 bit, I don't found
any speed up in Fritz analysis. NPS speed seems to be exactly
as with previous 16 bit version and in endgame area there seems to be
even some setbacks - e.g. these positions are solved fast with 5.16,
but 5.32 takes very long time:
3b4/5kp1/1p1p1p1p/pP1PpP1P/P1P1P3/3KN3/8/8 w - - bm c5;
2r5/2pR1pk1/p1P3p1/P2K4/5P1p/5P1P/8/8 w - - bm Rxc7;
Maybe 5.32 is optimised for BS2830 test were it is the best program, but
in other testsuites it's not better than 5.16! And if You need tactical
analysis speed Fritz4.01 is the fastest.
Also the evaluation seems to be exact the same in many position
with 5.16 and 5.32.
But probably Fritz is still the strongest program you can buy. And the
functions: I think it has everything I need - it's difficult to imagine
any new ones to Fritz 6...
PS. If I try to change aggressiveness in engine parameters there is crash
(I have January version)
