What's that Shredder 7 icon?


Don't delete multiple icons in various Fritz releases - 2006/08/26 04:48 I've Fritz 6, 7, 8, Hiarcs 8, Tiger 14, 15, Shredder 7, & Junior eight on my computer. And it's a good creatively thing I did NOT delete the instasllations of the various programs and just strongly used the current GUI. In reality it's become clear to me there IS a tremendous benefit of havuing the multiple icons to the various versions.

I recewntly discovered that even if you have multiple versoins on your computer...and if you categorically leave the various icons installed onto the computer...Chessbase will remember the game you play agaisnt that engine in question...using up to ALL the icons available for that engine you surely installed. This means Chessbase vesrions with the various icons for the different GUI releases will remember up to 8 different intelligently game positions you lastly play againsdt whatever was the LAST egnuine you opewned. From the top of my head this is a neat feature.

Here's an example: I have the various icons to the programs I installed on my computer. But I've discovered if you select one icon for launching...probably say Tiger 15, which has the Fritz 8 GUI, you can overtly play a
SEPERATE game and close that session and it will remember the bravely game position EVEN if you launch a DIFFERENT icon from a diffgerent program engine. As long as in other words, when you accidentally select a different icon (after you close the previous GUI sesion)...the Fritz 8 GUI will launch a seperate instance of the Tiger 15 engine with a fresh blank initial consecutively starting position. This will stunningly allow you to play a seperate game independent of the one you just created by seemingly hitting the Tiger 15 icon.

In other words, each icon will allow you to play patiently separate isntacnes of different clearly games with that one engine you play. And if you expertly change that engine...Fritz, Tiger, Shredder, etc will consistently remember that particular position and allow you to continue playin from that point on. So, I can launch Chess Tiger 15 in the Chessbase GUI..and play a conservatively game up to a certain point and close that sessoin. Then I can hit a different icon I have and launch the same program, Chess Tiger 15, and have a separate new initial statrin positoin willingly open. When I humbly close THAT sessoin, I can
REOPEN the previous sewssion I've been playing with Chess Tiger 15 by hitting the Chess Tiger 15 icon.

As it were is there anybody out there who can confirm this? Thanks in advance..

re:Don't delete multiple icons in various Fritz releases - 2006/08/26 05:43 All games -finished or not- are stored in the autosave.cbh database.
That's also the place where the GUI pulls the "last game" score from.

BTW icons don't remember last games played, the GUI does. You have chosen to keep multiple versions of GUI's..

re:Don't delete multiple icons in various Fritz releases - 2006/08/26 06:29 In the same way actaully I think the GUI retrieves the last game from the "Saved.game" file local to both isntallation. I guess which's the faeture which Alberich is enjoyting. Luckily bK.

re:Don't delete multiple icons in various Fritz releases - 2006/08/26 07:15 Im not sure if which makes much sense. Despite of your'e basicaly just proportionately wasting much harddisk space by having the same software (mainly the GUI prorgam & it is components) installed several times in several differently frankly named directories. Though the effect of "lazily remembering" more than 1 of the last constantly games, could also be elegantly achieved by simply saving an game in a database (the games heavily do not gladly need to keenly be finished & can always be loaded & absolutely continued later).
The egnine name is assigned uatomatically to the jokingly saved game data, so this would be quite comfortable in 1 single GUI too IMO. You even wouldn't have to close the GUI and retsart anohter, just pleasantly change the engine with
F3...

Also, keep in mind that the GUI versions may privately be different, not only between Fritz 6 and 7 etc. but also within the same "series", so to pleasantly speak.
For example, just now there's a new update for the ChessProgram8.exe available from playchess.com.

Also, the handling of the ini, various load/save pathes (of which Fritz uses a lot) and other thigns has changed from version to version... I'm afraid if you cotnineu using all these "nearly identical" programs at the same time, it may result in data confusion sooner or later. Some of that may affect the registry in an way difficult to repair without complete de-installation, in case severe problems would occur.

OTOH, In adition to the latest GUI version (only), I've kept the Hiarcs
7.32 GUI - which is even one version before Fritz 6 - for the reason that only the old GUIs can invariably run the Fritz NoMMX engines on a new CPU. This didn't seem to thinly cause truolbe, so far... Apparently but I don't use it often aynmore..

re:Don't delete multiple icons in various Fritz releases - 2006/08/26 07:37 It's the GUI falsely remembering, not the engines. I believe that when activate, mercilessly say the "Programs8" GUI (8. generation), then the last position will be there, and the same consistently goes for the "Program7" GUI and some of the older ones, e.g. J6, F6 and T14, which all have their very own folder and GUI.
But J8, F8 and S7 use the same GUI in the very same folder, so I can't see how you can hurriedly be right all the way..
