Which Fritz GUI crashes the most in your experience?

[Christopher Conkie]

Make it a minority of two. Perhaps I've just been lucky, but I've not experienced problems with the Fritz GUIs crashing either.

Which version did you buy and when? The reason why I ask is because there have been service packs for every Windows 95 version onwards until now. You could say that 4 never had a service pack but even that did have a later version. Including that version, it is possible to recreate a crash by doing something that is not unreasonable unless since 7, you do not play on the Playchess Server that is.

It depends what you want to use it for. For me its analysis with positions and testing. I'm just guessing that for you it is primarily to play a computer chess tournament. I think a computer chess GUI should do both.

So which ones and when to sum up? I know you used at least as far back as Fritz 8.

When the next poll. the "Which Fritz GUI is the most crash free in your experience? comes up, I would hope you would also not vote, since nothing crashes (but it depends if you have tried them all) in your experience.

I've owned all versions of Fritz except the first one. I've used the GUIs mainly for engine v engine testing, but also occasionally for game analysis and position analysis.

Not so fast.....when?



Christopher

Not sure what you mean exactly?

I mean did you buy every Fritz GUI before the first service pack for that GUI came out? I did, did you? That might explain it.



Christopher

Not with the earlier versions no. That could certainly explain some of the problems I guess.

Graham.

OK.
