Like with Fritz 5.32, It's Malcom Pein speaking. It's mainly blabber, even a bit sick sometimes (even more than just a bit!), but there are some intelligent comments which show that the machine has a little bit of awareness of various things I wouldn't have thought it had. And occasionally, it even seems VERY intelligent (or is it just chance?). And if that particular function could be worked on, I could imagine it could be about the greatest aid there is for improving ones play. So I thought that maybe fritz 6 was even more intelligent. But I havn't played with fritz 6 many times-with the talking function, as I have not yet bought it myself. Oh! So Jeroen is saying in a demonstrative way that it all just for a little laugh-at best! OK! so a little laugh let it be atleast, but maybe it's just a draining diversion for the serious thinker. But maybe it can be more instructive as time goes on-if already there does seem to be an occasional spot-on insight.
