How to Win with ChessBuddy

Post by elcriollito »

Here I will post my best advice to win with chessbuddy

-First of all ,U will need to have a good CPU like :

Intel Core Quad
AMD 64 bit
ect

-Need to have a good chess engine (like Rybka lastest version)
-Need to set time to 1/0 2/0
as much longer u set your time u will have the risk to lost in front of powerfull Opening Book, and this is your weak side

Strong side:

-faster interface
-easy setup
-engine upgrade
-really good in 2min and 1min

Weak side
-opening book
-longer game like 5min/6min/10min

so if u keep this in mind, u will get your 2300 points of more

Whilst messing around with the chessbuddy program in the past, I noticed that to improve playing strength on longer time controls like 6min/10min etc it is best to turn off the autoplay feature and use the 'play hint' button to move instead.

Using the program this way you can gage the amount of time the engine thinks before making a move yourself, allowing extra thinking time for the engine during opening and middlegame to compensate for not having a good book in the program. You can then put the program back into autoplay mode by simply pressing the autoplay button once you get towards endgame to move alot quicker and avoid running out of time.
