No one should be afraid of this. >Fritz5 did play at 2589 with the extras I for one would like to know how >strong without? I would prefer to see ChessBase releasing on one CD-ROM the autoplaying Fritz 5 and the Powerbook. This would be the end or the story, don't you think? What's problematic for ChessBase? Some might cook the Powerbooks. In my opinion this is no big deal: the Powerbook is very wide and Fritz 5 has an excellent learner. The advantage would be to put the SSDF off the hook and to put an end to the rumors. Am I being too simplistic? Enrique
