Fritz 7 (single CPU program) will be released shortly, for half the price of the
SMP programs. It's expected to be stronger than Deep Fritz (6) on single CPU, of
course.

The situation was a bit unusual, because ChessBase did not only include SMP
capability (compared to Fritz 6) into Deep Fritz, but other important
improvements too already.

I think this actually isn't much of an issue... users of single CPU machines
don't need to buy SMP versions, multi cpu-users may want to take them into
consideration for high-end performance. That's all.
