But Fritz has always been among the strongest programs and has showed a lot of progress through the years. Personally I have always liked Fritz and expected a great program this time as well. (Specially because it is an odd numbered version. I have always found them to be the best Frtizes! :-) )I also remember ChessBase had an article telling that Fritz was "rebuilt" from ground up with a new knowledge based approach. I belive them and now I am looking forward to get my new F9 in the mail! And I also expect them to publish an update that will fix the obvious bug in the endgame. Torstein
