I have checked it out, but didn't test it thoroughly enough to come to a final
conclusion.
It seems to be just as good as the Fritz GUI concerning eng-eng tournaments, but
I find the menu structure a little confusing (where the heck is a simple "New
Game" entry??).
Its Winboard compatibility seems a little better than Fritz' - for example I
didn't get Cilian to run under Fritz (heck, I even failed under Winboard :), but
it ran fine under ChessVision.
Can't say any more so far...
