Subject: Sparring mode very week in Fritz 6 and Chess Tiger14.0?

Has someone else noticed that Sparring mode seems to be very weak in F6 (latest
patch) and Chess Tiger? I'm a 1200-rated player and I had to work hard to beat
F? in Sparring mode set to "easy". Now, I can beat Fritz with ease at each of
the sparring mode levels, up to "very hard". Same thing happens when I try the
Sparring mode in Chess Tiger 14.0.

I don't know if this is a bug or an intentional weakening of the Sparring option
by Chessbase, but in either case it makes it useless. Fortunately, the Friend
mode is still working right, but although I like to play games using it, I find
that using Sparring mode is much more useful for training purposes.

Does someone know where I can find the previous patches for Fritz 6. The
Chessbase site only offers the latest one for download.

Thanks,

François Bertin
