any subscription or buying other copies.


That's interesting to know. The advertised behaviour is that the
products come with only a one-year subscription.


Maybe they have a special treatment of titled players ? :-)


I get the same treatment and my title would be "fish".

Aaaaah. Like ICC, you mean. Of course, FICS also lets titled players
connect to their server for free for as long as they want. :-D


However I know several players from Poland who have been playing there
for free since 2003 (using the same handle) and they are not titled :-)

Illustrates the difference between "title" and "epithet". Anyway,
since my purchase of Fritz, they haven't asked for more money.

And you bought Fritz 8 ? AFAIK it was Fritz 7 with only one-year
subscription. The higher versions are better ;-)
