yep I agree with you, and even though I dont have necessary data to say that I
am right, but I am preety much sure the differance between previous versions of
fritz and crafty, wasnt so much.

It is interesting to me because, I remember yelling (or rather thinking) all the
time about what the point of buying commercial chess programs when the strength
isnt much against the freeware engines(notable crafty).

So what do you suggest? maybe a match up between fritz6a and crafty17-12
(assmuing its available under CB)?
