>i critisice chessbase for their methods. I know how much money they make. I >know about their methods with law-suits, know details. know frederic and >others in person. I do not know how much money they make but I believe that if they did not make wrong claims against themselves they would make more money. This is a wrong claim against fritz5 from fritz5's user guide in page 46: "Please note that it does not make a lot of sense to make the program run for many hours to analyse a position if the hash tables are full. The extra time hardly compensates for the dramatic reduction in speed. It may be more advantageous to use the "Correspondence analysis" function described in section 6.10 page 57" The reader may think that fritz5 does not earn from time like other programs and it is better to buy another program to analyze a position for hours when the truth is that fritz5 earns from time more than many programs. I found that the correspondence analysis is not a good idea because it can miss surprising tactical moves fritz5 can find if it run for hours. a dissapointed buyer of fritz5 because of the correspondence analysis of fritz5(I suppose s(he) did not try to give fritz5 hours) can tell friends not to buy fritz5 and chessbase will lose from it. I am not discussing about the level of fritz5. I simply do not understand why chessbase hides the fact Fritz5 earns from time when the hash tables are full. Uri
