That's an explanation, but the very short delay between the release of Fritz6
and Fritz6a is still a mystery. There was such a difference between the two,
they could not ignore that a much improved version was about to be ready. Were
they in such a hurry to release something that they could not wait 3 weeks? As
far as I remember the product could have been delayed a little bit...
Well I'm not in ChessBase shoes, of course.
One of these days I'll ask Matthias or Mathias, directly.
Anyway the customers got the much improved Fritz6a shortly after the release of
Fritz6, so after all nobody has been hurt...
