I personally preffer 60mins/game, because we >are talking about a lot of games here (could be 1000 games against just one >opponent). Go for 90 minutes per game Pav. Look for extreme middle, or pre-ending or even interesting ending positions, out from an initial move list, and it should be reversed color basis. I myself can contribute debatable positions from chess informant games that GM's have analyzed. Dig some interesting positions from current strong human tournaments. Statistics: many games, many games, many games, many games but not all games are analyzed, just counting. To generate as many games as possible (ERT comes to mind): 1. Stop engines if it reaches 120 moves without a winner assuming the game started 1st move, just award draw. 2. Try to make aggressive resigning from engines say if both engines agree that the one is worst by 3 pawns. > >2) programs to choose. > >my prefferance (and considering the fact that I have these programs) > >1) Fritz 7 >2) Shredder 6 >3) Chess tiger 14 >4) Junior 7 >5) Hiarcs 7 >6) Nimzo 8 (well...) >7) crafty (latest version) >8) Yace (latest version) >9) Gandalf 4.32 ( maybe I will get 5.0 soon, but its not much of a differance) Very simple, remove old programs, maybe Hiarcs 7?
