CB light is a 16-bit only interface, while Fritz6 is strictly 32-bits. There is
no solution with CB Light I'm afraid. As the issue is really the interface, I
see two possible solutions:
1) Expensive solution: buy CB7 as the interface is essentially the same as CB
Light. If you actually opt for this, I'd wait till the CB7 price-cuts some into
play as CB8 is coming out (the CB8 interface will be quite different).
2) Cheaper solution: Buy a copy of Chessbase Magazine. If you do not mind the
limitations of CB Light, then you should have no problem with the limitations of
the CB reader software that comes with CBM. The difference is that the CB Reader
software is based on CB7, and accepts 32-bit engines.
