(In comparison, Stockfish lost 29-19 to R4 over the same time controls, so Houdini looks pretty good for its "price".) Therefore, you can all make your own minds up, but one is free, and the other is quite expensive. In June, Martin Thorsen ran a match of 48 (Long time control) games between Rybka 4 (圆4 4CPU) and Houdini 1.02 (圆4 4CPU), and it finished 26.5 vs 21.5 in favour of Rybka 4. Why is that if there are stronger engines out there ? Are you going by ratings alone or what ? Is there any "proof" of this ? I wonder because Rybka keeps winning the engines championship.
If you want realistic human style with adjustable strengths, go for Shredder Classic (NOT the Shredder 12 that comes with chessbase, which has the same interface with Rybka and Fritz).
If you want pure engine strength, Fire and Houdini are both stronger than Rybka, and are free. All 3 engines play lifetimes better than I ever will and very easily help pinpoint mine mistakes. The multiple engines is nice for identifying different plans, but is largely an unnecessary indulgence. My basic MO right now is to save the PGN of a good fame, run it through a deep analysis using multiple engines, and use it to find where I made my first big mistake and, briefly, to look at variations I could have taken. I want to load in the Kasparov Najdorf DB and the Kasparov QGD DB and load in Megabase etc. I want to be able to access them quickly, add QGD, Najdorf and Slav games from recent master's events to them, etc. However, trying to organize opening repetoires out of Frtz12 is frustratingly difficult nigh impossible.įor me, personally (and redundantly) I was to have a DB of "JHBs Queen's Gambit" and "JHBs Slav" and "JHBs Najdorf" etc etc.
But I think I need the Chessbase11 functionality.įritz12 is an engine, GUI, media player, allows basic database loading and tactic training, plus analysis of games. Yes! Chessbase11 is more expensive than Fritz 12.
