Thanks
Djordje !

>*** Djordje

imo in short time controls firtz6 might be stronger.
this is maybe in 60/60, 60 all, 30 all or any other blitz
or active chess. but in 40/120 fritz6 has big troubles in tactics.
fritz5.32 is weaker in other parts. tiger e.g. kills fritz6 in 40/120
but has problems with fritz5.32 (only 50% on 40/120).

overall fritz6 is a disapointing program. the new graphics are
nice but only in the first sight.
it is buggy.
and behaves more like the difference between windows95 and windows98:
windows95 ~ 75 MB space, windows98 750MB :-)))
