Hello George, I am not a programmer, but I definitley believe there is a difference between beating other programs and beating human players. All chess engines are strong in tactics. Many GM games are lost just because a player missed a tactic. If you design your program to value tactical positions it would probably do better against humans. However, Against other programs this would not be the best way to win. Other programs would very often handle the tactics well and then what have you got? It's funny to hear the statement from chessbase that their concentrating on beating human GM's. This might have been an interesting goal 10 years ago. Today amatuer programs are beating GM's, So what is chessbase really saying? They also claim that their trying to make Fritz more of an instructive tool. I am all for this, But they don't really say how. Regards Tony P.S. I of course will buy Fritz 9 as soon as it comes out:)
