Analyze or play against?

Post by Gasturbine »

I use Rybka 4 and Fritz GUI to analyze my games/moves, and have a question. Way back when, when the first strong programs came out, they didnt employ an "infinite analyze" feature, thus, I have always analyzed my games by simply replaying them against the computer and setting it on a "time per move" value.

When I set it to "infinite analysts" the program seems to start from scratch on every move.

So my observation is, playing the game against the computer will result in it playing stronger moves for a given time value, correct?
