Does Naum 4 give different analysis then Rybka 3 or Shredder 12? Is it worth getting at this point?
Thanks!
Do I really need Naum 4?

It plays a little differently and has different material balance evaluation on some critical positions. Most notable difference I noticed is that it evaluates a bishop pair much higher than Rybka 3 and thus gets a lof of nice wins due to that. It is overall quite a bit weaker than R3 though, but it gets some good hits.

Hello Tom, I thought you were one of the Clint Eastwoods or the Ronald Reagans who have joined us and I get a bit suspicious whether those are actually their real names. Especially Ronald Reagan, but maybe there are a lot of those in the US. And why not. Clint Eastwood would also be a great candidate for the moderator elections here. But I recognize now your nickname from the Rybka Forum, the drums teacher! Welcome to CCC and my apologies to your president!

I would also want to get information about potential diffs on diff hardwares. Otherwise these "overall" this or that dont make much sense. Apparently Naum isnt interesting, Rybka 3 simply is the best.

Thanks for the help! I may get it after all. I really enjoy checking out the different options the engines can come up with.M ANSARI wrote:It plays a little differently and has different material balance evaluation on some critical positions.

Thanks for the welcome!! It is fun to be here.
