The first was Fritz6spNew and the second was 2 days later Fritz6sp2. They were dated 1/23 and 1/25. The Fritz 6b package was never offered to the general public but some people got the URL and downloaded it anyway. Seems to me if you got the Fritz6spnew package dated 1/23 you should ask Chessbase for the Fritz6sp2 package dated 1/25. I'm old and my memory is not great so I could be wrong. Jim
