Re:CHESS PROGRAMS GOOD TO ANALYSE STRATEGY - 2006/08/12 20:49
Actually, I am way ahead of you! I did have nose surgery. That`s why I can post this message . . . the surgery made it possible to breathe! Didn`t get rid of the knob though. I will have to live with it.
Incidentally, in case you missed it:
The essence of my post was to suggest that ALL of the top chess programs produce moves of the type that a human GM strategist would come up, assuming that the programs are run on the best available computers. This is not to suggest that chess engines do not err. The modern chess engines are relatively vulnerable when evaluating positions in which long-range considerations dominate, although the use of "chess knowledge" tends to offset that.
But what human is free from error? And, don`t think that a top-ranked human GM strategist would not be strong tactically. All of the GMs are excellent tacticians. My recommendation was to purchase one of the top programs and then run it on the best computer available. It will NOT be weak strategically. It will, in fact, strategically crush almost anybody, even in closed games. That is the consequence of the fact that these programs are performing above 2700 when run on the best computers. How could anybody, or any THING, be weak strategically and still perform [chess] above the 2700 level???????
If you MUST have the name of a computer program, then Try HIARCS, latest version. Be sure you get it from the legitimate manufacturer, though, else you may get an inferior counterfeit. Info on this program can be found at http://213.191.70.91/shope/index.html . At that site are the words: "HIARCS . . . uses a maximum of chess knowledge to increase the playing strength of the program." Go to that site to get lots more info.
