Yes, that would be correct. At least if it's supposed to be equivalent to golf ;o). >2. Regarding endgame tablebases, this quote is in Fritz’s help system, “The >endgame databases are in the Nalimov format and are know as "Tablebases".

If not, is it worth purchasing >given the existing endgame database in Frtiz6? I don't know anything about this question, except that endgame tablebases are worthwhile. According to the help file they should be present on the Fritz CD. >3. I’m playing a lot of my games as Black. I particularly want to practice >against Queen pawn openings. Normally I have to take back Fritz’s initial move >until it plays e4. Can I build a separate database of e4 openings and use that >database to practice against? You can create your own book in Fritz. First you create a new book and then you import games with the openings you desire. Best wishes... Mogens
