Using our example position after Ne4 , Fritz11 will calculate a move for White out to a seven ply search depth, then make that move. Then it will calculate a reply for Black; after the seventh ply is completed, it will make a Black move, then continue alternating sides and moving until the game concludes. In short, "Blitz game" and "Long game" use time as a limitation on how long the engine will think, while "Fixed depth" will use the "lookahead" depth to determine when the engine should make a move.
The maximum length of the game is determined by the value entered in the "Move limit" box. Unless you have some reason for truncating the game you're interested in the course of the middlegame and don't much care about endgame play , you should leave this value set to the default of "".
When one considers that the longest chess game in tournament history was less than moves long, the default setting should be sufficient. I said earlier that you could have the engine play a series of games against itself. What this indicates is that Fritz11 will play three games against itself. In the first game, moves will be made after a seven ply search. In the second game the engine will move after a nine ply search, while in the third game a move will be made after an eleven ply search depth is reached.
Thus a series of three games will be played starting from the position after Ne4, with each succesive game using a deeper search. Note that if "Skip Even Plies" had been left unchecked , a total of five games would have been played, one at a seven ply search depth, one at eight plies, and so on through eleven plies. Why would you wish to skip even-numbered ply depths?
Some chess engines especially older ones exhibit a form of tactical "blindness" at searches which are cut off after an even number of plies, which can artificially influence the results of such games. The dialogue gives you the option of skipping these even-numbered search depths.
After you've set the desired parameters, click "OK" and the engine you've selected will begin to play against itself. When the selected number of games are completed, you'll see a "results" dialogue appear: This will give you the result of each game identified by the ply depth used by the engine. I also mentioned earlier that you could have several engines play against themselves in a series of Shootout games. All you need do is add engines to the list in the initial Shootout dialogue: In this case we've selected three engines; consequently we see that the dialogue indicates that nine games will be played.
Each engine will play a total of three games against itself, one game each at seven, nine, and eleven plies. Three engines times three games each equals a total of nine games. Note, too, that I've selected some low ply depths for the sake of our examples; it took Fritz11 less than three minutes to play the three games at the indicated search depths.
Current computer hardware will allow you to play series of games with search depths comfortably in the teens without taking an undue amount of time. As always, you should experiment by trying different settings until you find ones that best suit your needs. Until next week, have fun! You can e-mail me with your comments on ChessBase Workshop.
