stu,
 on reflection, I recall that you can toggle vebal commentary-- what you call
smart chatter-- as an insertion into analysis when running the fritz analysis
module. there are about I guess 300 different text messages the prog can use
like 'strengthening square d5' I think this is what you are looking for.
the fritzy wont do this in real time while you play-- it's an analysis option.

it should not become a playing mode i think,'coach' is enough! we dont need the
machine to do our thinking for us when we play that's too lazy for me!

Also if you need to see how the machine might answer it's own moves there is
'shoot-out' mode to follow a variation.

PS the main reason I will never use vebal commentary in engine analysis, when
the computer 'sounds too human' it becomes very credible -- and I know fritz
often misses important strategic plan when analyzing. This is clear to me
because I will show my games to strong IM here in New York (tournament games)
and when I have time to run Fritz overnight,say, on a game first ..sure it will
show me my blunders ,BUT if I miss an important PLAN (so necessary for LEARNING
how to play) I rarely see any insight from A chessbase analytical product.

Maybe that's the recomendation CB needs??
bye, marc
