Hi,
maybe you are not aware of the fact that you can log on the server and get your
GUI updated (Menu: Help->query update).
There is also the way of downlodading the *.iup file directly and installing it
manually.
But maybe Chessbase should also offer a link to those update files on their
support site for those who don't frequent the server and therefore don't know
about the update option. The CB engines are also updated with those online
updates but AFAIK there wasn't an engine update for F9 yet. There were serverals
GUI/Engine updates for F8 though.

Regards
Roman
