Go up one level in this thread


The dll that I downloaded from Chess Base's site would not funtion in Fritz5 (I
haven't yet reinstalled Junior5, to try that).  That's why I wrote the below
post.  If the Chess Base company offered a very special price however, for
people like myself, who already bought two or more of their nearly identical
programs, I would at least consider it. Anyway, I'm curious about Nimzo99, but
not enough this time to buy the same nearly identical package, for the
advertized price:)
