Thanks for some imput guys untill next time >ratings, benchmarks, upgrades O my!!!! > >Thanks Joseph Merolle It would be nice if each upgraded engine would remain in the engine folder and each could be paired against one another in an engine tournament on one PC. Then we might get a better and easier comparison between upgrades. Such was the case with the earlier Fritz 6 upgrade, where after the upgrade it left you with the non upgraded engine renamed as Fritz 6 Old and the upgraded engine as Fritz 6. Then they had the newer upgrades which would just upgrade the present engine and that was it. The Fritz 6 upgrades were clearly stronger than Fritz 6 Old. Unless the earliest upgrade strengthened the new engine and weakened the original version renamed to Fritz 6 Old, to make the upgrade appear to be stronger than it really was. The same is true for Fritz 7 in that you can't play 2 or more versions of the Fritz 7 engine against one another automatically, using only one computer. Not counting the (Non MMX) and Fritz 7 which are both recognized at the same time by the Fritz 6 and the Deep Fritz programs. I guess you could use 2 different interfaces with two different engines folders placed in separate chessbase folders placed on 2 different drives. Or one Fritz 7 program placed in Program Files\Chessbase\ and the other with a different path in Whatever you name the folder for the Chessbase and Fritz 7 folders and engines to be in, and then play them against one another manually. Would this be possible without screwing anything up for the Chessbase programs? Opinions would be welcomed Brian
