Go up one level in this thread


Hi:
My normal way of testing chess programs is playing against them as if
they were produced for us, human players, what a weird thing, don't you
believe? Well, in my 200 MMX with 32 Mb hash I give around 24 Mb to F5
in order to avoid problems that sometimes comes when you give him more
and my impression is that I have a lot less problems to draw Fritz 5
that any other top program. That does not means F5 is weak. Is strong
and sometimes very strong, but there are a lot of positions when he goes
astray, specially hampered, blockaded ones. He does not know what to do
and he begins to messing around at the pont I have drawed just waiting
the 50 movements without capture rules to apply.
But, anyway, what a heck matter if Fritz 5 is more or less strong than,
say, Mchess 7 if anyway is a hell of strong and so well designed? But,
of courtse, I am not a GMI as some people here seems to be according the
way the qualufy this or that program as "weak".
