Hi

I have another doubt!

While manually analysing my games...for example with Chessbase 7 with compatible
engines like Fritz 6, Hiarcs 732, Crafty etc..I find the following..

1. Hiarcs is very good at finding the best variation in positional approach
while fritz does it better when there are too many tactical possibilities.

2. When I hold a position on infinite analysis for three to four mins I get
reasonably good analysis. All that I have to do is to press "control' with space
to tranfer the best variation at that time as an annotated variation (not text
variation) in that position. Its nice! But, sometimes when I take the engine
through the variation towards the end the evaluation changes dramatically. Now
if the engine is Hiarcs it learns this quickly and when I bring it back through
the variation and it is very quick to find where exactly to branch for a better
alternative move! If it is Fritz or friends this takes much longer, may be
because they erase the hash tables?

Is there any way I can save time ? I wanted to have automatic analysis of whole
game with multiple lines of analysis done.I can compensate processor power with
extra time on overnight analysis. Someone helped with suggestion in this forum
to use Crafty in winboard engine which I could not understand! Is there any
commercial program that is already doing this? When will chessbase implement
this feature?

I wish to hear your suggestions...whats the best way to go about this analysis??
I wish to hear from chess players who know how to improve one's game! Definitely
not from biased people who promote their friends products!

Thanks in anticipation.
