Although the Chessbase GUI has its faults, it is still the best available when you take all of its features into account.
And that's from somebody for whom ChessGUI is their preferred GUI.
The Chessbase GUI can be used to do auto-analysis of your games as just one example of an extra valuable feature.Christopher Conkie wrote:It is easy to denigrate the ChessBase GUI as it is not orientated toward the actual thing its was meant to do any longer.......Graham Banks wrote:It's easy to denigrate something that you dislike.Christopher Conkie wrote: The GUI is outstandingly bad and has been for a long long time, but hey....if someone chops one of your legs off I bet you get used to it after some time.......

Exactly what features are you talking about with regard to playing computer chess tournaments? Spending money yes....its good at getting you to do that in various ways.....but computer chess.....LOL no.
Your statement is a joke. You say it's the best GUI available....then in the very next sentence you say that you use something else.
Chessbase GUI is the "slapper" of computer chess GUI's. Plenty lipstick and not much else. The dumb blond of GUI's.
Get a grip Graham.....call a spade a spade for once instead of doing your jellyfish act.

Arena->Engines->Automatic analysis......no doubt other GUI's do this as well.Graham Banks wrote:The Chessbase GUI can be used to do auto-analysis of your games as just one example of an extra valuable feature.Christopher Conkie wrote:It is easy to denigrate the ChessBase GUI as it is not orientated toward the actual thing its was meant to do any longer.......Graham Banks wrote:It's easy to denigrate something that you dislike.Christopher Conkie wrote: The GUI is outstandingly bad and has been for a long long time, but hey....if someone chops one of your legs off I bet you get used to it after some time.......

I don't need this feature for engine v engine testing. ChessGUI is my preferred GUI for engine v engine testing.
And just to clarify, I get no special favours from Chessbase, as I believe some others do.
Cheers,
Graham.
Exactly. In fact this sort of attitude will drive people away from Arena if anything. It is bad for ArenaLe Fou numerique wrote:Hi,

Hi Generalissimo/Admiral !fern wrote:Oh well, another "funny" post about a very well made product, full of features, still the best no matter what, Rybka included. I can understand that someone does not like this or that product; in that case I assume the thing to do is just to forget it. I have never wrote a poem about tomato sauce I do not like. Never, also, a supposed satire about a brand of spaghetti which taste is foreign to my palate. Sound weird to me to develop kind of hatred or mockery against a thing.
Well, maybe is the nature of this site. Once you have concentrated in such a trifling issue as chess computers is, you must consider it grave and give proportional importance to these things.
Sigh regards
