Seems that way.
Probably the same engine with multi-cpu capability.

Hi Graham !

Generally Deep engine X=engine X with MP capabilities (Shreeder,Naum,Zappa,etc).
With Deep Fritz is another rule: Deep Fritz X=Fritz x.5 engine.
The Deeep engine comes comes -always- with inprovements.

Here in the U.K. distributors tell me they expect it on 27th or 28th November, so we have to wait
Chessbase.com shop says it is available from 21 Nov

It used to be their usual thing. They used to release a single version then almost a year later released a MP version with about 30-40 point improvement on a single CPU. I guess the last time around was the first time they released a single and Mp version together. You can correct me if I am wrong.

I'm referring to Fritz 11, not Deep Fritz 11

This appears in the recently printed Chess & Bridge Catalogue 2008 (from the London Chess Centre):
DEEP FRITZ 11 £109.95 (DVD) is the multiprocessor version of Fritz 11... Deep Fritz 11 is at least 50 points stronger than its single-processor counterpart when run on the same hardware.

Here. I could be mistaken but I'm quite sure that there was a post here a couple of weeks back that said that Fritz 11 would come out as a UCI engine as well as native ChessBase. I could be mistaken - work has been hectic over the past couple of months and I have been unable to devote as much time as I'd like to more important issues such as CC :D

Cool. Fritz is now doing business as in earlier days. If i am right, DF10 was the first (and hopefully last) Fritz engine which was (as good as) identical to the single-threaded one (=boring). I'll go for DF11 when it is really a further development. Who knows, even UCI...

Have a nice day guys,

I still wonder why they arent trying to take advantage of 64bit. According to Chrilly the latest fritz versions use bitboards. I guess they are using that as a back up in case they can no longer make progress.
