hi dave:i only have fritz5(16 bit)which obviously wont accept any 32 bit engine
and junior 5 which, although 32 bit, has the old interface.besides i also have
frtiz 6 light.junior doesn't accept tiger or any of the engines from fritz6
light and causes the same problem you mentioned. tiger however accepts junior5,
frit5.32 frtiz6 light so i have no problem playing eng vs eng matches.
