The only difference I know is, the the "#-Mark" speed test was different, >i.e. Shredder-Mark with Shredder 5.32. ************ I'm not exactly sure what you are saying here Mike but it's not like Fritz 6. When I installed Fritz 6 it did nothing to the Fritz 5.32 interface. When I installed Junior 6/7 they did nothing to the other GUI's. I had two icons on the screen. One for Fritz 6 and one for Fritz 5.32. Then if I want to run Fritz 5.32 I just click on that icon and I don't have to change engines and books and settings of hash tables or anything else. It was already set up the way I wanted it. Now with S6 & F7 whatever I do to one GUI changes the other also. So you are right that it is useless to have two Icons on the screen now. If Chessbase thinks this is a good idea they are wrong. It was better the way it was. Anyway since they are forceing me to do it their way then they should have just installed the engine/book when I installed the second program and not the whole thing. ************ > >It is basically the same with the Chessprogram7 GUI, but improved beause you can >just switch in the options menu, how you want the program to "identify" so to >speak.
