My Purchasing list....

Post by fern »

After some rumination I have decided to severely curtail my expenses in the realms of chess computers, so my next purchase will only be:

Chessmaster 11
Schredder 11
Hiarcs whatever it be
Fritz 11 of course
Did I miss something?

Nobody will get from me something more than that.
Saving regards

The leader. Rybka 3.0 maybe?
After his son's birth they've asked him:
"Is it a boy or girl?"
YES! He replied.....

I will definitely buy Fritz 11,for playchess serial, although I only play few online games in the weekends, mostly on sundays.I will also buy Chessmaster 11 for its great features.

PS:Fernando,What book is it that of yours in the avatar?is it available in (translated to)english?Recent one I started reading is Cloud Atlas by David Mitchell.

Regards.

shredder 11 will be strong, but I will definitely buy hiarcs whatever I just like it's style fritz 11 does not interest me but I may get it anyway just to have free playchess serial. Yours is a great list but missing naum!!

That book is my last novel. It is just now in the shells in Chile and Argentina. I hope it will be translated if ever some interest for it grows out of the Spanish talking realm.
My best

I think Naum will delay, Eriq. Naum 2.1 was launched
in the end of january and Naum 2.2 in the end of july.
6 months between 2.1 and 2.2.
But despite this, it´s on my list.

I am curious about the new Glaurung SMP and Loop.
All the engines of the list of Fernando are ok for me,
and more Rybka 3.0 and her new gui.

I found this on the archives:
After my gorgeous victory over Gambit, 80's unit vintage rated 1400, I warn here
that I will not purchase Rybjka until Vas can ensure me it is really fully
developped and has a mature engine, ending tablebases and all. Same with Zappa.
Chessmaster I will only consider to play, if at all, the day version 15 strike
the shells. Fritz must wait version 11, at the very least. Shreder should
improve a lot to be taken into account.
In fact I am in a very difficult mood these days.
Wins spoil people, I suppose.
