Subject: The New Fritz 9 features I like!

When comparing the Fritz 9 interface with the last version I bought (Shredder 7
- the same as Fritz 8 I think), the new features I find most notable are:

1. A complete set of 3d sets (with a 2d control board), rather than just a
couple of sets
2. Improvements to the playchess part of things - with a multiboard view when
following more than 1 game (very good for GM tournaments!), and some map
improvements
3. A new red/brown coloured board for the elegant design!

That's it! Fundamentally, not a huge difference - and I wonder if you could
access the new playchess features by downloading the latest version from
playchess.com!?

I don't think much of the Turk animation, as it's unusably slow on my laptop,
and  the position explainer is like a very early chessmaster beta version.

However, for the £20 I paid, I am very happy with what I got (not forgetting the
fritz 9 engine) !
