Does Naum 4 give different analysis then Rybka 3 or Shredder 12? Is it worth getting at this point?

Thanks!

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.

Thanks for the welcome!! It is fun to be here. Incidentally why did my name make you think of Clint Eastwood?

Why do you say that Naum isn't interesting?
