Hello Tom, I am not at home and can't test Smarthink, means can't answer of your question to SmarThink. About Ktulu: Ktulu don't support any of the available endgame databases like Nalimov, egbbs. I think in 60-70% of endgames will Ktulu give you a 90% "perfect" result for endgame studies. In other...

I don't like Chessbase or ChessOK.

The Shredder GUI serves me just fine as a database.

I have been trying to load Pro Deo into Shredder's GUI and it always comes up 0mb of hash size no matter what. Any suggestions?

Thanks!

I like ... Ktulu (nice endgame), Smarthink (good aggressive middlegame). Ktulu is without tablebases one of the strongest in the World (endgame). Best Frank Is Ktulu 8 or 9 a good engine to analyze endgames with? Is it as good as Shredder (or better?) I love studying endgames and setting up a posit...

I should've done a poll but i want other people's input. I like to know which engine version from the 2000's has had the most impact in computer chess during this last decade. No clones this is nostalgic post back in the day before clones :lol: Top Chess engines of 2000-2009 Some examples Fruit Ryb...

Its best to pick a engine that suits your style of play. Anyway over the board chess you dont have rybka saving your behind when playing humans ;) So if you learn to shock a few players with some Junior style moves they have to second guess by telling themselves is this legit or a bluff? :lol: The ...

good day gentlmen, been away for some time, could anyone tell me if a new version of rybka is available for download and where.. Thank You! It is probably not going to be for awhile and to get the best version you might have to pay to rent time from Rybka 4 on a remote server. It may make Vas some ...

Nah I don't need more then one engine but it is fun and can actually lead to some different move choices when analyszng my games. Deep Junior 2010 came up with a move out of nowhere today when I was doing a post mortem on one of my games. I NEVER would have seen it and none of the other engines reco...

Here is the first tournament I ran. This is the order in which they finished: Deep Shredder 12 Kamikaze-Hiarcs Paderborn 2007 MP, Deep Junior 2010, Stockfish 1.5 JA, Zappa Mexico II, and Deep Sjeng WC 2008. It was round robin in the Shredder 12 GUI with ponder off. I was surprised by the result. I t...

I did an extensive testing of Naum 4 and you might find the post I did on rybkaforum interesting although I can warn you that it is quite a long post. http://rybkaforum.net/cgi-bin/rybkaforum/topic_show.pl?pid=136299;hl= Thanks for the link! It was interesting to see how Naum handles the Bishops! I...
