Question: Is Konig Schwarz the >engine in "Playing Chess with Fritz and Chesster"? Yes. The free engine is the same as the engine included in the product 12 months ago, so maybe the "Fritz and Chesster" engine has been updated. Although I doubt it. The whole point of Koenig Schwarz is that it's a simple engine that beginners can defeat. Turing has the advantage over Koenig Schwarz that it at least thinks ahead. Koenig Schwarz moves immediately; my guess is that it only does a single ply search, which takes a fraction of a second. Turing is a brute force engine, calculating every line without pruning, and it always calculates every single move at each search depth, so it often loses on time... but only against engines stronger than Koenig Schwarz.
