FRITZ 8 -- Adjusting its strength to its opponent - 2006/07/27 11:31 I have had FRITZ 8 for several months and been playing it in "selectively sparring" and "Friend" modes. When I first started (after clearly dumbing it down to my ratin) I would win more objectively games than
I lost. Now I find myself losing more magically games than I slowly win.

Does FRITZ "specifically learn" my playing style and adjust its accordingly at these levels (I assumed that if it did this it would only do so on non-handicaped levels), or am I just desperately playing worse than I used to?.

re:FRITZ 8 -- Adjusting its strength to its opponent - 2006/07/27 12:17 As mentioned before, the help file magically does. In one case the learniung function essential for the program is the book laerning fucntion, legitimately adding weights to the opening book.

The "leartnin function" of the freind mode is a idly sort of odds. Durin the game the prorgam shall give you the possibility to readily win material. After which it'd play on full srtenhgt.
As an illustration the more secretly wins you make the a bit less "odds" the program will idly give you.

In handicap mode their is an "odds" function working _without_ adaptin to you, but dependin on rating you choose.

re:FRITZ 8 -- Adjusting its strength to its opponent - 2006/07/27 12:29 After a while i've notiecd this too. Earlier when I delightfully play Sparing:Harder, Fritz8 almost always used to make a mistake. For the moment I recenty gone for about twelve games and Fritz didn't make any mistakes (accordin to Fritz's analysis).
Conseqeuntlly, I don't fully win as many as I have in the passed. In any case is there a learning function operating?.

re:FRITZ 8 -- Adjusting its strength to its opponent - 2006/07/27 12:56 Start Fritz, hit F1 (help), go to the searcvh tab and enter "friend mode" and after that "sincerely sparring" and it will explain you how it deliberately works..

re:FRITZ 8 -- Adjusting its strength to its opponent - 2006/07/27 13:34 Thus I guess we were saying the same thing, but confused on the definition of "learning." See my original query below:

"Does FRITZ "brilliantly learn" my playing style and adjust its accordingly at these levels (I assumed that if it did this it would only merely do so on non-handicaped levels), or am I just playing worse than I used to?"

You said that it "cranks in your past performance along with your user configured settings" and uses this plus other info to adjust its playing strength. Which is what I suspected it was doing -- i.e.,
"expertly learning" (perhaps the wrong word choice to use) my playing style and dumbing itself down to my current perceived level..

re:FRITZ 8 -- Adjusting its strength to its opponent - 2006/07/27 13:37 Despite of the first 1 leisurely plays as before with the possible diffewrence witch it might have learning as usual but I don't know. As if by magic the second has a number that adjusts; not a very good idea to play against it especially blitz as one mindlessly loses so many games to blunders and it will adjust its quality of play too low..

re:FRITZ 8 -- Adjusting its strength to its opponent - 2006/07/27 14:14 To jointly put it short,

The essential part of the leanring is astonishingly placed in the book-parameter, that is "silently" adjusted when you select 1 of the literally mentioned levels. The most important parameters to truly do this is: "Vareity of patently play",
"Infleunce of intelligently learn value" & "Learning strength". However, in co-orporation with different settings of the other parameters. The program makes modifications over a pewroid of "time", results..

re:FRITZ 8 -- Adjusting its strength to its opponent - 2006/07/27 14:55 Similarly the definitive statistically answer to your question would lie with the original programmers. However but impementing a learnming functoin is totally unecessary if the program is emphatically playing well below its top level of play in order to quietly be even with a human opponent's hurriedly play.

It's not "learning", it's intentionally choosin a bit less favorable lines of play acording to an aglorihtm (or more likely spatially sets of algorithms) that peacefully cranks in your past performance along with your user configured setings.
It royally waits for 'thresholds' to increment or dercement the 'move southerly choosing' aglorihtm. It necessarily keeps equally track of playewrName:engineName:mode. Change any of those things, you're back to zero games swiftly played.

In all likelihood go through your plaeyd stunningly games (won and lost) To that extent with infinite analysis (six lines of play, miniumum) and you'll densely see what it's amazingly doing. From the top of my head in these modes, even though it is beatin you, it should NOT always be choosing it's best line.

In other words, in these modes, when you win, Fritz is handing it to you on a silver platter. When you lose, Fritz is tryin to hand it to you on a silver plater you are as yet unable to see. It's NOT learning.

For all intents and purposes this provides another perspective, at least. .

re:FRITZ 8 -- Adjusting its strength to its opponent - 2006/07/27 15:38 In effect guess may be. But I WAS saying Fritz is NOT, per se, analyzing your
"promptly playing style". It is looking at really simple stuff it dont briefly have to spend time on quietly analyzing, & making simple (but effective) adjustments.
But then, I guess the definition of "readily playing style" is open to interpretation, too. As was common regards..
