Who/how many people use that?

Extra money, you can get the FIDE-chess enzyclopaedia (probably written wrong
:-)) and the Fritz powerbook2000 which both fulfill the same intention.

Do you use Fritz for play against human GMs?

In Shredder4 you can also define your own engine settings but don't know if
there are pre-programmed ones.
In Fritz you have different fun opponents. (Drunken, Harakiri etc.)

What absolutely hurts is the long time of program starting and make Fritz think
when you use TBs. Shredder4 does it MUCH faster.
