Go up one level in this thread


After a few hours lost in the woods with a new interface I must say I'm rather
satisfied with the standard windows layout. I don't go for fancy board designs,
so returned to the old Fritz 5 layout.

The program has become more stable. Sometimes my 'old' Fritz5 gui showed garbled
pieces on the board after task switching or after energy save monitor mode, but
with fritz6 that's over.

Only thing I miss (or can't find) is to switch permanent brain off and play
thorugh a game or an opening tree.
Also not all commands (a few) are IMO logically placed in the pulldown menus.

In blitz and bullet Fritz6 is certainly weaker, but at longer time controls I
indeed found out (am finding out) Fritz6 is slightly stronger than Fritz5. I
will post the results on my website asap, although I think it's more important
Fritz6 plays a lot better against me stylewise than did Fritz5. That's why I
love Nimzo99. Fritz6 gives me that feeling too.

Are there any stronger players over here who have some thoughts about the
"human' playing style of Fritz6?

Thx.

Jeroen ;-}
