Did i imply that it was an improvement?? i think not! however in that compnay of
top engines 1.5 above scratch is not bad, considering the lousy results
previously posted on Fritz 7 (standard) and now to what was my clearly missed
point: we need more games to determine if Fritz 7 is infact an improvement over
it's predecessors.
