Go up one level in this thread


fritz is very much their in-house production and is synonymous with chessbase;
(beside being their flaghip)the others are merely marketed by chessbase but
produced by pvt contractors, some of whom even produce versions for rival
companies; also fritz has been for long unrivalled at tactics and i guess that
is what most gm want a comp pogramme for; relying on their own judgement for
strategy and positional play;this of course has now changed with all top
programmes being good at all things to a varying degree
