Pavel and I have played many games on Playchess against eachother (we both have dual xeon 3.06's) mainly using Deep Fritz 7 vs his Deep Junior 8 ZX. 2 observations right off the bat for at least the 3+2 time controls we've been playing at: 1. Contrary to some posts I've seen here, Deep Fritz 7 seems to do better in the middlegame, but DJ8 defends VERY well in the endgame. There have been MANY games where my DF7 would be winning by a lot going into the endgame and then DJ8 would either turn that score right around or be able to draw it. Pretty amazing stuff at some points. 2. I used to lose VERY regularly to Pavel the first few weeks we both had our systems up and running, neither of us could figure it out. Turned out the solution was right under our nose: the hash size. I was using 32mb, he was using 48. I turned it up a notch to match his and all of a sudden, we were on a level playing field. If the games are of interest, I'll post them. Pete On June 13, 2003 at 19:20:10, Ryan B. wrote: >I'm not surprised that Junior 8 played so well.
