Fritz 5 is a playing program with medium database capability and
excellent chesstree/opening book editor capability. If Frans Morsch has
put in a lot of Intel specific assembly language code then AMD owners
beware, but I find it hard to believe that there is much difference in
the assembly language instructions. It would be interesting to see the
differences in a test between the 2 types of machines running Fritz 5.
