Old Engines

Who used Fritz, Junior, Hiarcs and Shredder in the 2000s? I used Junior 6 and Fritz 7 and 11. Junior really impressed me. It plays very dynamic and can do positional exchange sacrifice. If someone knows where to download old engines, please share.

i want to use them so please share

All 4 engines won the World Computer Chess Championship. There are other strong engines like Chess Tiger, Zappa, Jonny, and many I can't remember.

As a kid I used to play with Chessmaster 4000.

I played with Chessmaster 2000 on floppy disk.

I played with chessmaster 3000 on a 386 and with crafty on FICS. Learned to play accurately and jumped from ELO 1700 to +2000 . Then bought Fritz 5.1 and got crushed. Never bought anything after that but installed Stockfish.

Fritz 8 (1 CPU) running on a Centrino 1.7 GHZ laptop defeated Karjakin and Topalov on Man vs Machine 2004. Today's engines are very much stronger and desktops and laptops way more advanced.

In 2009, a chess engine running on slower hardware, a 528 MHz HTC Touch HD mobile phone, reached the grandmaster level. The mobile phone won a category 6 tournament with a performance rating of 2898. The chess engine Hiarcs 13 runs inside Pocket Fritz 4 on the mobile phone HTC Touch HD. Pocket Fritz 4 won the Copa Mercosur tournament in Buenos Aires, Argentina with 9 wins and 1 draw on 4–14 August 2009. Pocket Fritz 4 searches fewer than 20,000 positions per second, as explained by Tsukrov, the author of the Pocket Fritz GUI. This is in contrast to supercomputers such as Deep Blue that searched 200 million positions per second. Pocket Fritz 4 achieves a higher performance level than Deep Blue.

Pocket Fritz 3 using version 12.1 of Hiarcs won the same event the previous year with six wins and four draws, running on a 624 MHz HP iPAQ hx2790. The 2008 Mercosur Cup was a category 7 tournament. Pocket Fritz 3 achieved a performance rating of 2690.

so much good memories you guys have

Are there better chess GUI for Android other than Droidfish? Freeware please.

Deep Thought and Deep Blue running on Super Computers is weaker than Today's Stockfish running on a smartphone. That's how advanced chess engine programming.

Old super computers are also not so super by modern standards. Modern software has improved, but so has hardware.

That is true. Still Super Computer 1997 >>>>> Phone.

Stockfish >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Deep Blue Program

The advance algorithm of Stockfish compensate for the huge hardware difference..
