Well yes, but. . .

If I try to use the Fritz 5.32 engine in the Nimzo99 interface, it prompts me
for the Fritz 5.32 CD (If you already have that, you don't need the extra copy
anyway).  If I play a game with it in the Fritz 6 demo, it cuts off after 20-odd
moves (26 I think).  Fritz6 light does work fine with Nimzo99.

No complaints, mind you.  It just wouldn't make sense for ChessBase to give away
the Fritz 5.32 engine for nothing.

Also, the Comet B11 engine given in the demo didn't work for me, although I
later downloaded it separately from the ChessBase site, and that one worked.
