Is it possible to do multiple PV when in analysis mode like I can in PF2
Sure. There are the same "+" and "-" buttons in the engine window.
Is the only way of using a really large book to use a chessmaster book?
The default H12.1 book is already "really large". It has 850K Moves. The CMX book is "only" 280K Moves.

Then there is a possibillity to use Polyglot books. They are 8x larger, but much faster. Also they scale better for really-really large books. (Some millions of moves or so).

You can find Polyglot books for Glaurung or Toga on http://raitpref.hotbox.ru/ct-file.htm.

But remember, they use 16 bytes per moves. This means, that you need a >10Mb Polyglot book to save the default Hiarcs book. :D

Read the docu on Polyglot to generate them yourself.

Whoops!!! Don't know how I missed the multiple PV buttons! My apologies!

Nice to have clarification on the default book, that's much larger than I anticipated it to be and should do me just fine :D

I might have a play with polyglot in the future so thanks for the pointers.

Many thanks for you rapid help!

Best regards

I'd like to add my personal thanks to all the hard work which as gone on for Pocket Fritz 3.

PF2 was, in many ways, a disappointment in terms of support. PF3, however, is the best piece of mobile software I've ever seen. Any ideas I had of buying an I-phone have now gone out of the window.

Thanks, Stanislav. Top Job!

How do I install the media zip file?
And how do I install and use the endgameabc file?

Thanks!

Just unpack and copy the folders to the device or to the card.

Then open them over File - Chess Media.

EndGameABC.cbhtm or single WMAs.

update 3.2.1 don't work on asus p552w

Post by chromos »

Hi, I'm disappointed with this new update. Everytime I try to install it, my asus goes to reset just before end of installation. And after that Pocket Fritz is corrupt and goes to reset too when I try to run it. ... I tried installation on hardreseted pda too, but no success. Previous update 3.1 functioned.

Next experiment:
I installed Pocket Fritz 3 and update 3.2.1. on my old ipaq and all was right. Then I copied folder Pocket Fritz 3 into appropriate folder on asus. No success again, asus goes to reset everytime I launch Pocket Fritz.

Any advice? Thank you.
