Hello,

both the games I have played so far and my own impressions about its play point
to Fritz 6A being significantly stronger than Fritz 5.32 by about 50-70 ELO.
Fritz 6 is positionally stronger without losing the good tactics of its
predecessor.  The longer the time controls, the bigger the margin between the
two.
