IMHO, letting a chess program analyse a single position for several hours is almost a complete waste of time --- no matter which program you use. Any reasonably strong human chess player would obtain _much_ better analysis, tactically as well as positionally, if they use the computer in a less passive way. The way to go is to move the pieces around on the board, trying out different candidate moves and variations, while the program runs in analysis mode. The chess program should be used only to find forced tactical sequences. Trusting the eval of the program without carefully examining the principal variation and looking at the resulting positions is about the most stupid thing to do. Fritz is in my opinion a good tool for analysis, because it is usually very fast at finding tactics (though it has certain blind spots. Fritz and the King is the ideal combination). The eval should be left to the human, anyway! Fritz has a lifeless and uninteresting style of play, and is therefore boring to play against. As an analysis tool, however, I like Fritz much better than MChess, CSTal, Rebel and Hiarcs. Tord
