Ok, interesting...
Anyone have any thoughts on my original question?
How to use Houdini?
Sort:
bump
Yeah I could use some tips on its features too. I just downloaded it and it has so many features I don't even know where to begin.
@DC-Jacket, nobody cares about your shoes. Please stop spamming them across the forums.
I know about the basic Houdini tools - Blundercheck, Kibitzer. I also know you can play games against Houdini. But there are many many features in Houdini, and I just want to know what are some that people have found particularly helpful.
step 1. read my steps
step 2. get her drunk
step 3. grab a friend
step 4. get her against a glass window
step 5. do.... ( i dont know, use your imagination ;) )
step 6. switch with said friend without her noticing ( thus is why i said hett er drunk yo )
step 7. watch her reaction to your houdini
oh gog :o you perves and your dirty minds

When you switch it on, it switches your mind off. Very relaxing.
As you can kind of tell, most of us are not big fans of computer analysis even though we all recognize it as a necessary evil. As to your question, you'll probably get a better response if you tell us what GUI it's bundled with. An engine without an interface is like a motor without a car. Not that I'll be able to help you of course. I only talk the talk...

That's kind of that. Any analysis of your games should be performed by hand before firing the computer, the only use of which being to catch tactical mistakes you overlooked at analysis.
Now, what kind of features would you expect apart from position/game analysis ? It's a chess software, not a coffee machine. (DISCLAIMER : I have never bought any such software nor operated one for two years, so maybe there's a world of possibles I am unaware of).

Fritz GUI.
OK. As I said, my GUI is Fritz.

Maybe in calculation but what about trying to understand its suggestions? A move may seem silly but you'll have to visualize the end of the line to really appreciate what it accomplishes.
All he was doing was asking a simple question, you don't have to get rude.

Who's being rude? I have an iMac, I can't run Houdini. Houdini's a Windows program...
Besides that was just a joke...
Sorry, I used to hace fritz, found it too complicated.
I now use the free SCID. I could help you with that
