I believe that not many buy Fritz6.

I do not buy Fritz programs after Fritz5 before it is clear that they improve
it.
I do not buy versions of Genius after Genius3 for the same reason.

I see no reason to buy Fritz6 when it is not clear if  it is better than
previous versions of fritz.

I think they would do better not to release a new program before they are sure
that they have a clear improvement.

Junior6 will be a clear improvement above Junior5(not only in the level of play
but also for analysis because it can learn by position and
You can go forward and backward and the program is going to improve the
knowledge of the root position).

Maybe the programmers of Fritz like you too much and after they read that you
are happy that they lost they do not want you to be sad))
