I own both versions, yet I continue to use the E version online at FICS. The
reason? I think it is the better version.

There could be something wrong with Fritz in the games. That is a possibility,
but I see nothing wrong with it, when I use it online at FICS. So doubtful.

I can not explain the results, nor do I want them taken as if they are the only
results that matter. These are the results I attained.

I was given the F version as a gift. The CD seems fine. It's play seems fine.

In all honesty, I do feel that E was the better version.

Do you have the E version to test with?
