I just realized that playing strength is not the only reason why people chose
Fritz over any other program, but the extra amenities which fritz offers but
those extra amenities would not change too drastically from the previous Fritz
6a version, therefore, the extra strength of probably 40 to 50 more rating
points is what people are really exprcting from the London version right now.
