Maybe I'm naive but I believe that >ChessBase would inform me (a registered user) if there was an update available. >Besides Steve Lopez has been quoted (in an earlier post) as saying he has no >knowledge about a version 6b. I would think he would know, right? I read that people who bought the young talents and not only Fritz can get Fritz6b so you can be sure that there is an official Fritz6b. I am less sure if Fritz6b is free for people who did not buy the young talents but my impression(based on posts that I read) was that it is free for all Fritz buyers. Uri
