Does CM9000 automatically log its analysis when you play a game against the program? I too am extremely disappointed in Fritz, although the version I bought is 6.0. I liked the automatic logging feature in M-Chess Pro and do not like having Fritz reanalyze the game in order to find out what it was thinking about. What a waste of time. Also, I do not like the 10-ply limit for its analysis. What good does it do to announce mate in 12 but only show the first 5 moves for each side? And speaking of mate announcements, if Fritz 6 announces a mate, say mate in 8 for example but a mate in 5 actually exists, then it will NEVER NEVER see it, no matter how long you let it think. I think that Fritz actually stops analyzing after finding a mate but can't prove it because Fritz doesn't display its thinking nodes like M-Chess Pro. The only time you know that Fritz is thinking and at which level is whenever the analysis display is updated. I personally think that the Fritz GUI is vastly overated.
