I "speculate" that the Fritz people already have a very long list of persons who could be counted on to purchase anything that is a big improvement in performance. Remember, there are many GMs who see chess as a source of $$$$. They will want the best tools for their profession that they can get. And there are the non-GMs like me who would do the same thing. Again: Just speculation. Truthfully, I do not know all of the GMs personally and cannot speak for them. But if everybody else is going to speculate about Fritz software, . . . Bob D.
