Go up one level in this thread




The latest F6 patch (May 2001) is still available from
the ChessBase site. However, take note that it introduces a bug
that breaks the Sparring and Friends modes: After applying
the patch, if you use these modes you will find that the program
plays very weekly and and that the various levels available in
Sparring (i.e. Very easy, Easy, Normal, etc.) are not working.
ChessBase is aware of the problem and is "supposed" to be working
on it. So, if you like to use these two modes, you are better
to leave the program unpatched or to not use the latest one
described above.

This problem also affects my unpatched Chess Tiger from CB.
