Go up one level in this thread


When Fritz6 was first introduced a little more than a year ago,
there were already a German and English version.

Specs are :
Fritz 6 (English Version)
Date of *.eng 10/11/99
Size (kb) : 285

Fritz 6 (German Version)
Date of *.eng 23/11/99
Size (kb) : 264

Then was the demo put up (as Fritz 6 Light)

Spec is :
Fritz 6 Light (this engine is so named; therefore no confusion)
Date of *.eng 28/11/99
Size (kb) : 270


Then came the Fritz 6a upgrade (Chessbase does not call it 6a but still 6)

Spec is :
Fritz 6a
Date of *.eng 23/1/00
Size (kb) : 283


Then the little publicised Frtiz 6b (Chessbase does not call it 6b but still 6)
Spec is :
Fritz 6b
Date of *.eng 9/4/00
Size (kb) : 284
(Fritz 6b also has some GUI improvement like time control for friend/sparring
modes)


And I read in this forum last week, there is a Fritz6c in the latest Chessbase
Magazine (I don't know true or not)

Hope the above helps.
Let me know if your *.eng is different from any mentioned above.
