My first engine/engine match was won by Fritz6 over Fritz 5.32 by 28.5 to 21.5. My latest auto232 match was a very impressive win by Fritz 6 over Fritz 5.32 at game/5. In fact the last 12 games were +8 -0 =4 for a 10-2 score (Fritz 6 wins) Overall I have already about 340 games at blitz and the rating is equal to Fritz 5.32 and Hiarcs 7.32 with Junior 5 coming up about 20 points short. If you just took Fritz 5.32 and added the tablebases you would have a small improvement so I feel Fritz 6 is at the very least as strong as Fritz 5.32 even at blitz. Jim Walker
