Subject: Runtime error during Fritz analysis
I'm relatively new to Fritz. I've tried twice to get Fritz 9 to do a full
analysis of a game. I gets to a certain point and gives me a runtime error.
Can somebody tell me why and what to do about it?

Nothing ... just report it to Chessbase. It is a known issue, of which they
never publish a patch. If you run the engine in the Fritz 8 UI, you will
still hit the issue, so the error is caused by the engine [in all likelihood].

In spite of my determined effort to rob you of sufficient information,
your response was very helpful. I appreciate it very much. I suspect, as
a result of reading your reply, that I have a memory problem. I'll
experiment as you suggest and see if I can eliminate it as a
possibility. Thanks again.

Which engine used for analysis ?
If it is Rybka then welcome to the Club !

I used the Fritz engine.

I can't say the same for Rybka 1.2 or 2.1 under Fritz GUI.

Not true, at least for Fritz 8. It'll analyze games in any of the
formats it can read and that includes PGN.

I'm not a user of Fritz, but I do know that the information you have
given is woefully inadequate for anyone to help you.

Your computer hardware? Version of Fritz? Operating system? The exact
error message? The PGN file that causes the problems .... etc etc. If
you provide sufficient information people might be able to help.

The cinputer is Dell Dimension 4300. It runs Windows XP Home. Speed is
1.66Gh. I have 256MB of memory. Error message said "Runtime Errorand gave a
number I think as 1101 or 11 something. The PGN file was simply a game I
played with CM9K and cleaned up and saved as a PGN file. Fritz installed
the dame okay and proceeded to anallyze it, but then came the runtime
error. Twice in, I pretty sure, the same place in the dame. Move 34 of the
52-move game. As you may know, Fritz works from the last move backwards to
the first. It's Fritz 9.0.

256mb is very low for a pc running fritz9. Check the memory spec
for Fritz9 as i am sure it requires a lot more then 256mb runnimg with xp.

256mb is the absolute minimum for xp and is unlikely to run a memory
intensive application like fritz9 very well.

An error in the pgn filr should not cause a runtime error.

Agreed.


> An error in the pgn filr should not cause a runtime error.

Ditto. And, since Fritz can play through the game, it seems unlikely
that there's anything wrong with the PGN. On the other hand, if other
people's copies of Fritz 9 crashed at the same point in the same game,
that would be indicative of a bug in Fritz.

You've hit on it. It's the memory deficiency. Even when I deleted the
last 18 moves, leaving only the game up to where resignation was
reasonable, the analysis stopped early. No runtime error this time, but
it just stopped. I'm due for new machine, so I won't bother upgrading
memory.
