I agree that large DB's being useless for players of my level, Mr Takata. Nonetheless, Fritz have superior DB FEATURES and seaching abilities, not DB themselves. I hardly use Fritz DB features to study openings (I actually avoid and hate studying openings). I focus mostly on playing(ICC,OTB,Computer), studying, and annotating MY own games using Fritz and reading chess instructional books. I store my games in DATABASES and award medals for easy retreval. Apart from storing my own Database, DB features are used for viewing Exeter's Chess Club's Canon in CBH, Lopez' Battle Royale, and Claude Kabers excellent Tactics Training with varying themes and difficulties. All these tools are not over my head and have helped me with my scope and ideas. I agree that giant databases are useless for someone in my level and I don't bother with non or poor annotated games. I cannot do many of these functions easily, or at all, with CM6000. I think that CM6000 "was not meant for pro's". I don't think that professionals is Mindscape's target market, rather they are trying to sell to patzers like myself ;). Nonetheless, I do not doubt that the program is strong enough to challenge Pro's as an opponent. I also enjoy CM's personalities. After I play a game on CM, i change it to PGN, and to my Fritz personal DB it goes!
