This is the new feature which comes with Fritz 13 (my new toy). Basically it's a repository of engine analysis that you can search specific positions in. I have a game which is very early on and i'm experimenting with a line from the game Anish Giri v Levon Aronian 2012 (i've seen Aronian play this before but have taken this game to analyse with fritz to tr and get a handle on some of the points i've probably over looked).
Now, this brings up something of a conundrum. Engine analysis of a game in progress is obviously not allowed (my game is still on move 3 so we're still well in opening theory). What is my cut off time? At what point does my analysis become engine assistance??
Here is the game...
Now, i can paste this into fritz and select 'Lets Check' and hey presto! I have analysis from Stockfish, Houdhini, Shredder, etc, etc, etc at my finger tips on the spot. Fantastic! Normally it'd take hours to get all this (not that i'd bother). But it's a conundrum, how much of this can i use? What if my opponent does the same thing? We're using analysis that is technically theory. What is the consensus??
