Application Menu - Options - Engine

 

 

While Fritz is thinking about a move, either during a game or during game analysis, the program gives detailed information in the engine window, for example the evaluation, the search depth and the best continuation line.

 

The variation board offers a display of the best line, which can be played through in the variation board.

 

The option "Show Plans" goes one step further. During the Infinite Analysis (ALT-F2) it uses graphics to display not only tactical manoeuvres, but also possible plans for both sides

 

 

This example shows how the function "Visualize Search" works.

 

The orange arrows show the plans that the progam prefers for White, the blue arrows show the plans that have been calculated for Black.

 

Possible destination squares are coloured green if they play a special role in the tactical manoeuvres. In the above example the square f5 is very important, and so the move f7-f5 is displayed as Black’s main plan.

 

Note: This function is currently only available for the Fritz engine, and is not supported by other engines..

 

It is recommendable to give the program more time to think in critical positions. The more time Fritz has, the more informative his resuts will be.

 

Below the engine window the currently examined variation line is always displayed.

 

 

Im this example the Fritz engine is thinking about how to react if 20.Nd3 is answered by 20...Rcd8, even though the best line is 20...Bh6. The advantage of this display is that it is kept up to date even if the best line remains unchanged for a long time.
