The fact that I do not blame chessbase is result of zero expectations from them. Saying that the fruit team is responsible was also not meant very seriously(it was partly joking) I support the fruit team and I suggest that later they will enable changing personalities only by changing ini files(this is not hard to change ini files in order to create new personality and if they do not do it I am afraid that tomorrow another bug of Fritz gui update may change other parameters like null move pruning).
