After reading one of the earlier posts on the possibility that the most recent Fritz 7 upgrade may have caused engine strength reduction, and noticing poor play myself, I uninstalled Deep-Fritz 7. I had multiple copies of the previous upgraded Fritz 7 engines. However, it was Deep-Fritz 7 that I had noticed the poor play with. So, when I completely uninstalled Deep-Fritz 7, I let the uninstall take the Deep-Fritz 7 engine with it. When I reinstalled the Deep-Fritz 7 program, I then had a brand new Deep-Fritz 7 engine and program interface. I chose not to try the newest upgrade, yet I still had the result that I included with my recent post. A HORRIBLE game. I can't blame the poor play on the upgrade, when I have a freshly installed Deep-Fritz 7 engine and program. In engine tournaments run on my single Processor PC using only one computer, Fritz 7 was out performing Deep-Fritz 7 or coming out even in various time controls. This was before I tried any upgrades after first installing the DF7 program which I received 2 weeks ago. It appears that we are being lied to when they say that DF7 is stronger than F7 even if only a single processor is used. If you remember, the same thing was said of Deep Fritz as compared to Fritz 6. ( "Increased endgame knowledge and increased positional play") I find it odd that they would use the same exact wording for this advertisement, yet I still bought it, pardon the pun. Perhaps it should be called Deep-Putz 7. All replies welcome and looked forward to. Regards Brian
