Thanks for your answer, but still not from ChessBase. But I am afraid nobody understood my point and importance of this question. And I expected people would express their opinion because the question is relavent to everybody here. I have bought everything directly from ChessBase and according to my Visa statement, I paid AUS $87 for the last Fritz-6 . Of course your price is much lower and if it is not a secret, please send me the address of your German supplier who gives you so incredible discount. Where do you live ?
