A question. You can view engine analysis pane while you play against a chess engine in a chessbase Gui. Do you ever try this? It sounds more to your taste than my own. I might view an engines opening book while I play against it as a reinforcement of learning (eg., show tree) but i will not allow myself to be distracted by the 'analytical noise' an engine outputs while I play. By the same token, I almost never use chatter when I want to learn anything-- it distracts me-- that's why your recommendation caught me off-guard. here's when i use chatter: the machine is brutalizing my playing so of course I need some light entertainment even sarcasm to take the edge off of that- chess should be fun. I liked the old chatter disk from fritz 5.32 it had daniel king's voice.kin is a good teacher if you have seen his video cd files on the Attack! trainer, so he can read and engage. I am not aware of the persona of fritz 8 chatter, although I really wish they might use an american voice sometime-- someone who can be swarmy and annoying. the new voice is alittle insipid. i am thinking maybe 'bronxbattler' on icc- finegold. all the best- marc On June 10, 2003 at 21:35:12, stuart taylor wrote: >On June 09, 2003 at 14:40:36, margolies,marc wrote: > >>stu, >>if you want to change the analysis function, might you please give us some ideas >>about how you use it now. what would make it better and not merely different. >>have you tried training/tutorial modules by any company, do you like them? do >>you use the coach feature in cb gui and how is this different than smart talking >>sounds? would a speach-to-text feature in the coach be what you really want? >>cheers, marc > >I don't really have suggestions about analysis functions, as I havn't been using >new versions recently.
