That is correct. However, the lack of information about which features are
implemented fully and which are not, makes it a dubious download to say the
least. Especially considering the size of the file. Not everybody will be amused
after downloading for several minutes, just to discover that its less flexible
than CBLight. A stronger engine and fancier graphics. That's all.

Let's review:

"The Fritz6 Demo comes with a strong engine". Yes, but only usable for analysis
due to move limitations. If you're keen on analysis, buy a complete product.

"and comfortable database functions". So few that everyone can figure it out.

"the most beautiful chess interface". Yes, that is true.

All in all it's not worth it IMHO, unless you've got other Chessbase products.

Actually it calls itself Light, which is an ample description. Tinkerbell is
heavier.

Best wishes...
