Thank you. > >eric Hello Eric, Thank you for your kind words. Just to gather some more data on F7 & CT14 I played some more Blitz games last nite. To my surprise Fritz 7 beat Chess Tiger 14.0 very nicely by 38.5-23.5. This is the first time either one has won by this wide margin. But what I did was to "load up" Fritz 7. Meaning I cleared the Fritz 7 book and then let it learn from all my databases. This gave Fritz the "experience" of about 1700 games. This seems to be a clear advantage for Fritz since I cannot do this with Tiger in the Chesspartner GUI. I haven't had time to inspect the games yet so I'm still suspicious that something else may have been wrong. If not this is quite an eye opener. Jim
