Richard and all the others who responded, thank you very much! I see your point about inane comments. What I saw from Fritz didn't seem too inane and the comments weren't on every move, but I can see where it would wear thin after a while. And Richard is absolutely right: you want your analysis from the best engine, regardless of format. I'm not thrilled with the HIARCS interface. I'd have written it so that you can hold the mouse down on a move and a pop-up would appear with the best continuation. Sigma Chess, as you pointed out in your review, has a much prettier interface. So, I'll be ordering HIARCS and I'll download Sigma Chess. Heck, I've got 27 Gb of disk space, I think I can find room for both of them :) One further question: what effect on performance does memory allocation have? I've got 256 Mb RAM, I can easily set these applications to 50 Mb or more. Would that give me deeper analysis, or is there a point beyond which it won't make a difference?
