Thanks for the new version of Andscacs. I wonder if you have some sort of estimation of the difference in elo between version 0.86 and 0.87? Probably more than 20, but not sure as I have not done a serious tests against 0.86. ok - thanks! Maybe it's a bit early to know for sure. My question was mer...

Hi Daniel!

Thanks for the new version of Andscacs. I wonder if you have some
sort of estimation of the difference in elo between version 0.86 and 0.87?

I have had no problems - all programs are running ok.

Does 'all programs are running ok' also include Chessmaster 11?

A question about Chessmaster, though the thread is about Chessbase,,

Does Chessmaster 11 work in Windows 10?
No problems in Windows 7

[Oh ALL right then! So it's a sound win. White only needed to see a few moves ahead and estimate the rest.[/quote] Yes, that is correct. From Black's point of view, the comments went like "21...

The sacrifice fructifies nineteen moves after its consummation.' 'This break-up sacrifice succeeds only bec...

This game was highly praised on the CB-site "The beautiful thing about the following sacrifice is that it was intuitively made by Tartakower. It is impossible to calculate r...

In opens the strongest players are usually pitted against low rated ones. So also today when the first round of the Malmo Open was played. We shall have a look at a game between Karlsson 2160 and GM Semcesen 2471. This is a game that's also interesting to follow with the engine. When such a big diff...
