Hi Michael,

I never imported my Fritz openings software package into Fritz 8. I thought it
would have done that when I installed it. It was hard enough to beat the
computer before and when I did that quickly it sure felt good :) I see with the
book installed correctly my days of feeling good will be short. I will also make
sure I registered the product. It gets worse, you know I got chessbase 8 and
chessmaster 9000 but I went and purchased the Deep Junior 8 and Chess Academy 7
office deluxe exclusive. When I install those then the confusion should be even
greater.

Richard
