Programs are quite bad in rook endings. Nice to see some games of a program versus a grandmaster. Too bad it's such a fast time control. Yet we see that even at fast hardware programs don't make a chance in rapid chess. Second game fritz had what few years ago was told to be a position where fritz plays well in: isolated pawn in centre. further there were as a result of this 1 open file and 2 half open files. Really great play of Anand. I wouldn't advise amateurs to try that against a program. Way too tactical. Does the engine search parallel, can chessbase confirm this here? Because of course fritz is parallel (if you have more than 1 threat OS does this), but it's hard to believe that the engine is parallel searching: chessbase homepage reports that machine has 2 cpu's and program totally 512 mb hash, and every processor gives fritz 256 mb hash. Vague. Weird that it doesn't use a shared hashtable, so it probably isn't parallel searching, but something like running 2 engines at the same time; copying the althofer experiment? Would be interesting though, i'm just trying to get my own program parallel, and i don't mean the interface, but the engine. Greetings, Vincent
