Perhaps you can answer this question for me. What is the Fritz 7 Update for now that Deep-Fritz 7 is out? Is it for the Fritz 7 program (interface and or engine) or is it for the Deep-Fritz 7 program (interface and or engine)? The last 3 or 4 Fritz 7 upgrades only seemed to be for the interface. Early on when Fritz 7 came out there were many engine versions from Fritz 7 upgrades. When Fritz 6 came out there were a number of Fritz 6 upgrades ( Fritz 6e) and others, but I never saw ONE for the Deep-Fritz program, ever. Will Fritz 7 upgrades effect the Deep-Fritz engines. I know it will effect the interface as the DATE in the help menu will reflect this. As an experiment months ago, I put the Fritz 6 upgrade over the Fritz 7 program and it change the date to that of Fritz 6. My main concern is the playing engines. As I said above, I never saw a Deep-Fritz upgrade since DF has been on the market for purchase even though there were numerous ones for F6. Now there have been numerous ones for Fritz 7, and I wonder if there will ever be any for the Deep-Fritz 7 program and engines. I look forward to all replies. Thanks again Terry Regards Brian
