What are the main differences between Shredder, Fritz, Deep Fritz, Deep Junior, and Junior? They look like they're made by the same company, but why have so many programs? I just want a good computer program to learn and analyze with. Can anyone give me the 30,000-foot flyby of the main differences?

Thanks!

I just picked up chessmaster 9000 Its pretty unbelievable. The classrooms are excellent. It also has tutorials, problem solving, data bases, and games narrarated by josh watzkins. Since I have gotten this 2 weeks ago I have seen better quality in my games.

I was wondering about the site rules about using software during a game. I found this on the Terms of Service page.

(b) You will not use chess software, chess computers or consult any third party to assist you in any game (unless expressly agreed prior to any game). Chess books and databases can be consulted during play

Is it just me, or does this statement contradict itself? Which is it, is it OK or not. Can someone clear this up?
As for myself, I hope that anyone who plans on using such help would inform me before I accept a challenge.

you may use data bases.
you may not use a chess engine. (plugging in the moves and letting a program make the move)
After so many moves a data base is worthless, unless of course some one is using the same data base.
It would be like you using your notes from games to see where you made mistakes.
