I could not sleep well the other night as Fritz 10 (single processor) took a thumping in the Playchess engine room losing about 70 points from 2520. How can I stop this slide? Even some unknown upstart named loop “ate” my baby.
Whilst I can assume that there have been increases in multi-processor systems/dual cores, without buying new hardware how can I claw back some points? On the subject of Fritz 10 are there any updates other than the gui one?
Originally posted by z00tI assume you have a full compliment of endgame tablebases and a well-tuned opening tree.

Originally posted by z00tIt is possible to lag with broadband, and to avoid it with dial-up. It is not the speed of your connection, but the traffic relative to capabilities. A cable company that over-subscribes can be plagued by lag. Information regarding lag has been built into the playchess interface (ping) for some time, but it seems they have improved their reporting.
Laggers are a new feature in F10 to describe those with non-broadband connections/lag on their connection as that can gain extra time.
Originally posted by z00tThat unknown upstart is number 2 on the list already given.

Deep processor versions are over-rated e.g. here my single processor Fritzie ate up Deep Junior 10
