Craig, I really cannot offer a comparison as I only have Fritz 5 (or 5.32, which I do not find better). What it will do is mercilessly disect any tactical lapses the players have made. This generally leaves me a wiser, and chastened, man. I usually set it to 120 seconds/move (this figure is misleading, as it follows other interesting moves along the train of its calculations for another 120 seconds each), and it has news for me for me in the morning if the game was shorter than, say, 50 moves and I had a good night's sleep. I am sure refinements are possible, but if used this way, it finds things that have escaped IMs during the game AND the post-mortem. I repeat: I am not saying Fritz is best, just that I have come to like it for this feature. Charley
