Gotta love the Thursday specials. :)
Almost makes me want to buy a PC.. :-(
$70???? when has Fritz ever cost that much. Typical double the price and then make it sound like a great deal by offering it at the regular price. Gotta love capitalism.
The engine will be completely redesigned but still weaker than Rybka 3. But there is a new GUI and a new kind of premium account on the chessbase server. There will be more live coverage and video lessons.
As I've never owned a chess engine before and always wanted one, I think this is my best chance. Suh-weet!! Thanks Erik! I pre-ordered, but chose media mail to save a few shekels. I should receive it sometime just before Fritz 13 is released.
P.S. I promise to never have a chess.com window open and Fritz at the same time.
if anyone is interested in getting Fritz 12 when it comes out next month, consider pre-ordering today from Wholesale Chess.
they are having a one day super sale pre-order. it is supposed to be regularly priced at $70+, and they are selling today only for $39.99 !
