Interesting, and here i was thinking i neeeded to throw my genius 3 in the trash :). > >I think the strong point of Fritz5 is positional understanding I don't think fritz has very strong positional understanding built into it at all. I just think that less knowledge combined with much faster calculation, is a more effective plan than building in a lot of chess knowledge such as Hiarcs does. Shirov has recently said that he thinks of himself as primarily a calculator, and chess strategy seems to play less of a role. Indeed i think that Fritz is succeeding mostly because of its ability of rapid calculation. >The weak point of fritz5 is the opening book. Sometimes true, sometimes not :). >In tactics it is sometimes weaker and sometimes stronger than other programs > Definitely true! but usually it has the tactics that others don't see. >In the first round against Isichess Fritz5 with white came out of the opening >book with negative evaluation with white. > >I believe fritz5's opening book has too many lines stupid humans played. >It is better to delete lines Fritz5 does not like from the opening book of >fritz5. > Of course :).
