If you don't have any problems with the Fritz (all) GUIs then you must never use
them or do anything with them.  I have not purchased Hiracs 10 or Fritz 9
because I'm tired of the bugs in the GUI.  Shredder 9UCI is exactly the
opposite.  I have almost no problems with it.  Even ChessPartner works better
than Chessbase GUIs.  Maybe even Arena but I don't like it so I don't use it
much.  Here is a simple example.  When running an engine/engine match in Fritz
GUI with UCI engines (like Rybka vs Fruit) I get about 15 out of 100 "line
scores" where the games were terminated before they reached a conclusion.  Run
the same match in Shredder 9UCI and not one unfinished game.  I won't waste my
time mentioning all the bugs I see in Fritz 9 GUI.
