Re:Determining Chess Strategy Via Computer Analysi - 2007/12/15 10:45

In the future, I'll try other distinctive hues to see if they also elicit analytical eagerness. I wonder what other educational benefits are hidden in the kaleidoscopic approach? My acquaintance with Crafy is very limited, seeing how I'm a Fritz disciple. Nonetheless, I'm very interested in making a comparative post on the two. If you're willing to provide me with Cratfy analysis, I can go ahead and decode some silicon vision. Most generally, how does your own analysis compare to Crafty's? Mine is off and on, depending on the position. Anyway, have a great weekend.
There have been articles where the colors we see affect our mood or frame of mind. I prefer the usual wood-color or brown (light and dark shades) to simulate the usual chessboard (made of wood), but I guess it simulates the earth or dirt where armies stand. So much for that... If I guess correctly you're a computer programmer, and Crafty is open (I think the source code is available), making it ideal for technical scrutiny. Fritz I guess is proprietary and thus its code is closed, but I read that it's the best engine for now. You asked about my analysis when compared to Crafty--well the best way to answer that is to play against the engine. Well, perhaps it's partly psychological, Crafty wins most of the time! Obviously Crafty is better than me (sometimes engines act differently in the endgame and if position is equal at this point, the human usually wins: engines usually win in the middle game). You can get Crafty analysis by following ChessTeacher's advise (ChessDB is good). A short description of Crafty is at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crafty , and download links are there. Because you have Fritz already, there's no need to use Crafty anyway. As they say, "if it ain't broken, don't fix it." Good luck!
