Another point: Is the SSDF only testing commercial versions of a program? Is Fritz 5 - the one you are testing with - a commercial version? Or is it an improved version that noone can buy? I think that the SSDF is doing a great job, but could it be that the Fritz guys "outbooked" you with a couple of tricks????? Andreas
