You have to have a high chess rating (2200+) to understand engine games. The moves are extremely subtle, and without a deep appreciation for the game most of the variations will be quickly forgotten by the mind.
If you really want to improve, you need to consult chess books written by strong GMs and IMs, and take their advices.
Maybe I should say it differently. I'm playing an engine vs. engine match. My machine seems to make moves slowly. What is the reason? Its not the win loss that bothers me its the sloweness of my computer moves?
When playing an engine vs engine match what are reasonable things I should be doing. I have the engine installed. My pieces in a 5 minute blitz take about 15 seconds to make the first move? That is putting me way behind right from the start. Are there prep things I should be doing? Also does an opening book make a difference? Most of this is from competitor website chessbase and I don't play these often but wondering why my engine is somewhere else at the start of the game? Thank you
