No; with "Fritz" they mean "the Fritz GUI". As Shredder comes with a Fritz GUI it will give you access to any chessbase database. It's up to you if you think the 50,000 annotated games are worth while. Some people complain that the quality of annotation varies a bit too much. And if you only use the database for reference (opening search, game position search etc.) Big is more than enoguh. YMMV. J.
