PS: Sorry I just realized that in the Rating list of 2000 the difference between Fritz 6.0 using an AMD K6 450 Mhz and in the latest rating list of 2002 using Fritz 7.0 with an AMD K6 450 Mhz is only 1.0 point. Chess programs are NOT really making a big improvement in chess knowledge in the last two years, but the hardware is doubling and gaining 80 points rating every year. Pichard.
