Just installed it, and you may be right .Aser Huerga wrote:I guess they forget to add "a few years ago ...". I bet for the same Rybka 4.1, maybe slightly tweaked.kasinp wrote:It does say that "the new multiprocessor engine was developed by star programmer Vas Rajlich ("Rybka") and is up there with the global elite."
Sounds like a continuation of Rybka development to me.
PK
1. It feels almost identical to the Fritz15 engine
2. Parameters look exactly like they did in Rybka series
3. Hash seems still limited to 4GB
4. It is a UCI engine
5. It does use Syzygy tablebases.
no idea as to strength increase, yet.

Re: Fritz 16
Syzygy are used by the GUI. It seems the engine still needs Nalimov to be able to use TB in search.kasinp wrote:Just installed it, and you may be right .Aser Huerga wrote:I guess they forget to add "a few years ago ...".

No way in H-E- double hockey sticks. They never have but you never know.noctiferus wrote:thx. My fault, did not see it.
I wonder if there will be an UCI version or only a Fritz engine.

I used to be able to and we are talking years ago run the Nimzo.eng in it. Those were the days (sigh)SzG wrote:They do not even support their old .eng format any longer.BrendanJNorman wrote:So many new bells and whistles...

Re: Fritz 16
English chessbase site had it available about 2 hours ago already. Just look in the chess programs section. And it is on special! (along with everything else in the store @25% off).Nordlandia wrote:Peter Kasinski: how did you manage to get Fritz 16 so early?

You must have tried to login 3X's and many other sites will do the same security feature. Just use a VPN extension for your browser and it'll make your IP different.Nordlandia wrote:Wonderful website.

I have been assuming this entire time that Fritz 16 is Fritz 15 with no elo improvements.kasinp wrote:Just installed it, and you may be right .Aser Huerga wrote:I guess they forget to add "a few years ago ...".
