Such is the vision of a convert. :) By the way, I followed the Grooten and van Wely games with the best programs, and none had a clue of what was going on until it was already too late and, of course, within horizon, so I don't mean this as a description of the specific "style" of Fritz alone. Within the limits of strategic shortsightedness, Frans and Fritz have done wonders. I also believe that Fritz is an invaluable tool for analysis. But how about moving in another (quality, aesthetics and scoring, all together) direction? Keep dreaming, you say? Enrique
