English Chess Forum

I have taken the plunge and bought a new laptop (and ordered broadband to replace my at-home dial-up).
ChessBase 9 has loaded normally and so have Junior 10, Rybka 3 and Fritz 11, but I cannot find Fritz in the list of available engines in CB even though Junior and Rybka are there. Anyone got any ideas?
Also, there used to be a free upgrade to the Junior 10.1 version that corrected bugs in J10, but I can no longer find it on the internet.
Thanks.

Are the actual engine files in the same folder as one another? If not all of the engines are in the same folder as one another, it's possible that only the non-Fritz ones are in the right place. If so, you might need to move them to the right place. So if you go through My Computer etc. until you find the files, you might get some more clues.

Tim,

You need to update Chessbase 9 (which you can do online using the help button on the toolbar) as Fritz10 onwards stores its engines in a different location to Fritz9 and below.

Once you've done this Fritz10 will appear as an available engine.

Regards,

Sean

Thanks for the replies. My broadband is due to arrive Jan 18, but I will be working lates this week so I guess I could go into a Starbucks or similar one morning and get the download

Got the download.
All I need now is to find the Junior 10.1 patch that used to be available on the web but apparently no longer is.
Also, for some strange reason, although Rybka3 and Fritz11 will appear as engines in ChessBase they are nowhere to be seen when I run a Fritztrainer DVD.
