My personal impression that the former GUI of Fritz 5.32 was simplier and better. Now it has too many features which we would hardly use and they take lots of CPU resources. In a couple of days I returned from metalic board to the former Fritz 5.32 one. If you are familier with the former Fritz 5.32, then you will learn the new one in 1 hour or even quicker. Then I run 4 round tournament with a time control 30 min. for 40 moves, then 20 for 20 and 5 min. for the rest of the game. Here are the results : Hiarcs 7.32 - 13 out of 20 Junior 5.32 - 11.5 Nimzo 99 - 10.5 Fritz 5.32 -9.5 Fritz 6 - 9.5 Crafty 16.18 - 6 Fritz-6 lost his match to Hiarcs 0.5-3.5 and to Junior 1-3. And it won against Nimzo 3-1, Fritz 5.32 2.5-1.5 and Crafty 2.5-1.5. It lost 20 game Nunn blitz to Hiarcs 7.32 just 1 point. I used it to analyse some positions. Next day I returned to Fritz 5.32. I can't beleive that ChessBase would release the weaker engine, but I can't see any big improvments in positional understanding. It looks for me that for 80 marks I have just bought a new GUI which I really don't like. Sorry. Any other opinions ? Best wishes
