ROTFL! Commercial firms are full of hype! Yes there has been modifications to Deep Fritz 7 but they really may only help on a multi-processor system. Sure "knowledge" was added but it in reality may hurt on a single processor system. One would think not, and ChessBase didn't exactly lie, but went with more knowledge added, but without proof most likely it would play better than Fritz 7 on one CPU. Terry
