I really liked cm6000's annotated games by Waitkin (They should make some more
of those on various topics!). I like Fritz' DB,training features, as well as its
cleaner interface. I feel that companies should focus on better and more
intuitive ways to help players improve their games. If it was possible to
improve how these programs annotate games(right now, it is just in its infancy)
would be a great asset! And both should allow connection to an internet telnet
server like icc or fics(not that sucky CMLive!)
