To be sure, I am also one of the pesants in revolt againts these super human chess players that does not even take a look at the screen as much as they are only huge brains in a bottle and have robot servants to do the moves in the board. I like voice, noise. I love to begin Fritz lessoning the sound of the pieces being putted in the board. Silly, but tune me for what comes. Like to be in a club. If only fritz smoke... A sugestion: any kind of human voice should be a voice kind enough to speak understable english. It seems anglo saxon people believe all world understand his special way to talk this language. No sir, we don't understand. The guy that speak in Fritz maybe is understable for a pedantic guy and gay of Oxford, but no so much for a chilean, argentinian o Hindostani customer.
