I see Fritz8 is listed at about half the price of Deep Fritz 8. I checked out the ChessBase website though and the blurb for both of these is the identical text. I've used Chessmaster 9k for a couple of years, but I'm not that familiar with Fritz. What gives?

I dont know I'm using Chessmaster 9k right now like you did. I'm waiting to save up or a holiday to come to get Fritz or anything like Fritz.

I'd be interested to know why you are considering the move from CM9k to Fritz. For me it is the difference in the quality of their game annotations.

Well, I don't know I heard that is just a lot better. I heard the database is bigger and etc. And yes the annotations are better supposedly.

I saw some "annofritzed" games at

They seemed a lot more like the kind of annotations that had been done by a Grandmaster such as you would get in a book.

Deep Fritz is intended for multi-processor computers. It will still perform on a single processor machine - and at a level greater than the "plain" Fritz - but it's potential is maximized with multiple processors.

Am I to assume, then, that it is just a matter of Deep Fritz analyzing/playing better on multi-processor computers? They offer the same features?
