Subject: First CB Program?

Author: Dave C.

I'm rather new to computer based chess programs. I have CM6000, but I would like
to buy one of the ChessBase programs (Fritz, Hiarcs, Junior, Nimzo, etc.) to
begin playing engine vs. engine games, primarily as a learning tool and for fun.

What is the opinion of people that own these and other programs?  Which would
you suggest I purchase first.  Once you have the first of these programs, do you
add the new engines to the original program or is each additional program a
stand-alone program that you can play against in engine vs engine competition?

Also, are new/updated versions of these programs released each year?  Will Fritz
6 be released later this year?  I read that Hiarcs 7.32 was just released in
June.

Basically, where should I begin?

Thanks in advance,
Dave
