In fact, we all have to reconsider our notion of "chess program", no longer
meaning an inseperable union of engine and interface.
If seen in the new way, "Fritz the engine" is a Dutch product while "Fritz" (the
GUI) comes from German company Chessbase.
I just mention this because a) people tend to forget that Fritz was written by
Dutch programmer Frans Morsch and b) I remember people stating that Frans
himself was not too happy with the name "Fritz"...

Is this final with respect to the evaluation function? Can you or Amir say
anything about a possible release date, SMP support etc. ?
