Well how about calling it Fritz 6.1 or Fritz 6.01.  This would have two
benefits.  Firstly it would reward all those who bought the product early by
giving them another engine (without having to resort to hex editors).  More
importantly, it will boost the rating of the new engine!  Since if you call the
improved engine 'Fritz 6' there will be no differenciation from the old 'Fritz
6' and results will get mixed up - but then on the other hand maybe you don't
really believe there is much difference between Fritz 6 and Fritz 6a :-)
