Fritz 8 vs Chessmaster 10th edition

I have started an expiremental match between the two to see who's better. Did Game # 1 already. Will post game later

Brilliant!! I have both and actually thought about this before. I am glad to see someone will to try this out. Please, do keep me posted.

Fritz 8 will win in an ending.  Chessmaster stinks at playing.  I can beat the Chessmaster when I have takebacks.

That's nothing, I beat Rybka 3 using only 147 takebacks. :P

I've tried the same thing. I know Fritz 11 will annihalate Chessmaster, I'm not too sure about Fritz 8.

 Ha ha, I did it in 146.

I've heard that chessmaster will win matches because it will hog CPU power...so the true test should have one computer per program to get a correct result. 

one engine can run on each core provided you have a dual core CPU; CM would only hog it's own core not the other

CM won game 1 ! Will post when i have the chance.

Question: What's the best chess program to use and play against when your at home? I had Chessmaster a couple of years ago and thought pretty oke, especially the training part of it.

i dunno

I started with ChessMaster 10 and later bought Fritz 11. I think CM has more trainig features but obviously Fritz is a stronger program.

Ditto Duffer1965

does rybka beat both?

take backs are when you make a mistake, but undo the move and make another. If you hog something, you take all of it and not let anyone or anything else use it.

An example: If there are 20 pieces of candy on the table and I take 15, I am hogging the candy.

in basic terms, it means chess master is usunig most of the computers power while fritz is left with a small percentage.  therefore analizing positions faster and more accurate, hope that helps.

haha, funny one staggerlee, when i was 15, i used to play chessmaster 2000 (!) and i was using takebacks a lot...didn't count them, though!

Go Fritz 8!!
