Unless you are prohibited from doing so, why not post the positions? Then you are likely to receive analyses that you could not easily do yourself.Kempelen wrote:I have a few positions I would like to analyze with a computer.

Re: Engine to analyze the endgame
All the positions from the book GMRAM, which are mostly endgames. it has no solutions do it is advisable to look them at books. Before I would like to play them with an engine that «knows what to do» and analyze before going to books.zullil wrote:Unless you are prohibited from doing so, why not post the positions?

Re: Engine to analyze the endgame
I have never found an engine, that was exceptionally stronger in the endgame.
Once i was told, that shredder is especially strong in the endgame, but after hours of work i could not verify that claim.
I believe that the strongest engine is strongest in the endgame too.
My recommendation for serious chess works:
--Scan down the rating list and pick the first engine you like. I would pick stockfish. The big engines are qualitatively far more advanced, than the pure elo number can express.
--Install essential table bases, that can make a significant difference in quality sometimes.
--For conducting your own analyis, good GUI support is almost as important as the chess engine itself. I recommened Scidb currently. E.g. Chessbase would be even better, but is not free.
--Use Multi pv mode during analysing, ignore the numbers and read out the given lines. Try your own ideas, to see how there are refuted.
Happy analyzing
