I've found that the Fritz12 engine does a good job of being limited to lower rating (I usually play it on around 1400), Rybka4 less so, I've not used Shredder.
I've found the Fritz12/Chessbase GUI to be the most intuitive and friendly. I dislike Aquarium, though some people love it. I used Arena briefly but the version I had seemed a little buggy (it's possible this was operator error though).
Howdy all,
Right, I'm aiming this question to those who have bought one or more of the above: which is best?
I'm not really interested with engine strength, but rather usability/functionality. Which would you say is the most intuitive, and which is the nightmare?
Cheers!
