I ordered my copy through EB Games as it was cheaper, and oddly I got the WM
edition, and not the Bilbao engine. I inquired as to why that was, and I was
told that the Bilbao engine is in German, and I specifically asked for the
"Latest ENGLISH verion" of Fritz.

I feel totally duped... why sell one product only in german and not offer it to
the english customers, and then sell it for cheaper no less.

I will be thinking long and hard about purchasing _anything_ from Chessbase
again.
