Hi Mats: You are absolutely right. Fritz vis a vis computers has nothing to do with Fritz vis a vis humans. And this point to one of the distortion of the industry: ratings as SSDF are considered the last, authoritative word, as if programs were made to play programs. What's the sense of that? We, not programs, are whoy purchase programs. I am a 2100 elo player and regularly at least I draw againts Fritz 5 precisely on the ground of his silly positional play and if I lose is because of a silly tactical mistake, so silly things always happnes with fritz 5. To be fair I believe F5 is better than F4 in this aspect, and besides has a lot of good points in the non-engine side of the program, but in terms of pleasure based on the game in itself, I rate a lot higher Mchess any version, Hiarcs and CSTAL.
