One significant difference (besides the price) between Fritz 4 and
Extreme Chess is the fact that the analysis module for CB 6 is only
included with Fritz. The Fritz 5 module for CB 6 is available for about
$45 from ChessBase, but since you pay little more these days to get the
"real" Fritz 5 product which also has the CB 6 .dll it doesn't make much
sense IMHO to buy the .DLL (which doesn't include a playing engine you
could use with Extreme).
