The setting of Fritz6 where just to greedy Deep Fritz already was an improvement But still did not have the poisen from Fritz5.32 I am intrested to know if Fritz7 is still greedy. But if you look at games I know am colecting with Rebel Century4 you can see CM8000 is maybe good in atacking but not in defending. Which is actualy kind of strange it also was for this reason I had putan improvement in kingsafety on my wish list for the upcomming Chessmaster.
