Aside from a few cosmetic changes and a different name, I've seen no clear statements suggesting substantive changes. I prefer the menus up through 9000 to those introduced with 10th edition. The analysis I describe here has been essentially the same since it was introduced, perhaps with 3000 (I don't recall this feature in 2100, the first version I used).James Stripeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13437334325501974461noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-57726894266049739.post-86327565485838595012010-03-03T05:29:50.600-08:002010-03-03T05:29:50.600-08:00interesting post have you tried Chessmaster 11 at ...interesting post have you tried Chessmaster 11 at all I know the program is flawed but i still enjoy playing against it I use Fritz to go though my gamesAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-57726894266049739.post-79208653467211349582010-01-09T10:00:23.887-08:002010-01-09T10:00:23.887-08:00Thanks for the comment Chess engines.

Great site!<br /><br />I do not have Rybka 3, and Rybka 2.2 is weaker than Hiarcs 12. Even so, I use Rybka 2.2 to analyze some positions. I've recently started using Stockfish 1.6, the strongest free engine. In tests on my box, it holds a slight edge over Hiarcs 12.James Stripeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13437334325501974461noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-57726894266049739.post-50708748928597929762010-01-09T01:38:00.124-08:002010-01-09T01:38:00.124-08:00Did you try to analyze this game with Rybka?

Qd1 blocks the c1 rook into its movement along the back rank since it seems logic to me that for the moment you dont have any advantage to controle the c-file.From the patzerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04499383398575774704noreply@blogger.com
