Favorite GUI?

Does ChessGUI work in Windows 7 - 32 bit?

Gentlemen

Why wont Ivanhoe work in my Fritz 10 GUI. I understand how to create Uci engines is Ivanhoe incompatible??

Thanks

SCID can... I assign 3 cores to each engine and do 2 positions at a time. With Scid vs PC you can do 3

I'm biased, but I like Emacs Chess (http://github.com/jwiegley/emacs-chess), for playing on FICS, working through puzzle books, and stepping through positions.

64x, I don't know if you've ever used Emacs, but if so, I'd be open to working out the best correspondence features to add to Emacs Chess with you.

Emacs Chess - it seems maybe only for Linux -?

That is very nice of you. My exposure to emacs is dated and limited. I took a look at your link and was not able to make exactly what the current state of emacs-chess is featurewise.

I can tell you, however, what features make SCID valuable to me:
-Intake: xfcc protocol and processing of email moves (which can be vastly improved)
-Management: a single window with all my corr games, can browse from one to the next with a click and highlights those that are waiting for me.
-Opening: tree views of my databases linked to the relevant position, can see the relevant games easily. Opening reports and theory tables
-Analysis: 3 engines running concurrently, I can insert the variations to the notation, easily trim them and further analyze from there.
-Database: can easily search games on my current position or pattern, plus all the normal db features
-Endgame: tablebase access and management (lots of room for improvement)
-Transmission: seamless for xfcc, lots of opportunity for email moves.

SCID lets me down severely in how finicky the GUI is, it can't do exclude moves, can't comment trees, retrograde analysis causes crashes, and many, many other issues.

If you can comment on where emacs chess is at on the above features, I think it will be very helpful towards forming an opinion.

Thanks in advance!

my favourite gui would be SCID, too (on Linux and OS X). I'm happy with it and not missing anything (except a feature like epd/fen->html).

I agree Thorsten that Shredder classic is good. I also use Arena as my main testing GUI. It is easy to use and most things
are up front.
