It's still 10GB on top of the Nalimov which you need anyway to feed to your fritzes. But 10 GB for 6 man does sound cool, too bad it isn't public :( >Further which user knows nalimov? > >A few chessfreaks sure. Not the average user. The average user doesn't know about endgame tables, so we must be talking strictly "hardcore" here :) >They basically know, if they know anything the chessmaster format at the moment >:) I think Chessbase and Fritz is the most widely known combination of software, at least here in Denmark among club players. Everybody seems to know about Fritz, but they have never heard of Shredder and they think Chessmaster is a toy thing for kids. Some of them have heard of Junior though. It's a bit sad really, they blindly buy fritz when they need an analysis tool because that is what all the others use. You won't believe how many times I've explain they should start out with the strong winboard engines which they can download _for free_. -S.
