Chess in Facebook

There are at least 4 popular Chess Application that you can play in facebook, Chess Cube, Chess.com, Chess in FB and Speed Chess both Chess in FB and Speed Chess are products of Come to play makers of more than 50 other online games.

For a serious Chess player Chess in FB is the most recommended owing to its slow time control 120 seconds per move and a lot of players here use the venue to test their software against each other although secretly, if you want to survive in high stakes of this application you must at least have a good Software or engine to assist you in your analysis in my observation a bet of between 10k of tokens up uses SW to enhance their play.

If the developer of this software would lower the time control to say 30 seconds per move then this could be a good venue to test skills with each other, but if you are also training for an event say your National open this is a good place to train because of almost perfect variation that the software’s are offering, it is better to test and lose here than in the actual tournament, with regards to the tokens where it is considered a mode of betting here you can easily earn tokens in other applications then play again in Chess with the best players there, Other chess applications like Speed chess and the 2 other are for those who love to Blitz and faster time control,

ChessSoftware’s and Engines

Houdini 2.0 Aquarium Pro is the latest SW release and are considered to be the strongest and fastest software engine combination now selling at $99.90 this software’s combines the analysis capability of Aquarium and the best engine to date Houdini 2.0, this is now used to analyze the current World Chess Championship match between Anand and Gelfand now the present score is 2-2 for four draws.

Houdini 3.0 is scheduled to be released in September of this year according to its developer this engine will rate about 3300 when released and therefore even Houdini 2.0 which is strongest at present will have difficulty scoring in a match with his newer version Houdini 2.0 at present ranges from 3050 to 3100, but despite having this and use it in Chess in FB I still lose to some strong players probably because they have a newer version of SW, and these make the Application attractive, you are almost playing with the skill of a Super Grandmaster and you have the privilege to use your top SW and engine and you still lose wow the competition is really strong!!
