It was used as an example of how to expand the uselessness of the Chessbits list
even more and nothing else.

Actually, I was disappointed not to see them in the Chessbits list, since almost
everything else imaginable was already present. It had nothing to do with your
attempts.

As for the various Fritz versions. Whether they perform differently isn't really
relevant. There is at most two different Fritz 6 versions and they are Fritz 6
Old and the latest service pack version. The a, b and c separation is an
invention.

Apart from the fact that a few customers would feel terribly cheated, then it's
a nonargument because it doesn't correspond with reality.

Fair enough. Even though it results in an unfair and uninteresting list IMHO.
