Hi guys, I was wondering what chess engines are you using right now and how did you get them? By chess engines I mean Rybka, Fritz and so on. I would like to download( free of course Laughing ) an engine so I'm eagerly waiting for your recommendations, cheers Smile

Stockfish is free, open-source, and at least as good as Rykba and Fritz.

Houdini is what I use.

 

But why just one? There free. Download em all. Ivanhoe, Fire, Robolito, (free) Rybka's, Stockfish, Houdini............

At the recent TCEC tourny, Houdini came in first....Rybka4 second.

I use Fritz 11 that i buyed a long time ago, and i think its nice.

But free, i would use Stockfish and Houdini together.

Depending on what op sys you are runninng, Glaurung and Stockfish are strong and free engines. Sigma is also good.
