I believe that the developers have attempted to put more positional
analysis into the engine, where traditionaly they have only concerned
themselves with tactics. Fritz 9 is also supposed to play a more
"human" game (I cant comment, I have not developed the skill of human
chess yet I still play like a Commodore 64), but if you are only
concerned with using it for analyis the quality of the overnight
anotation is much improved.
I personaly think its a worthy upgrade, the guys at Chessbase do a
sterling job and we consumers should encourage them to keep making
great software by parting with our hard earned cash once in a while. I
only wish I could get a copy that runs on my MacBook, as wonderfull as
SCID and Crafty are. Fritz is the best for a patzer like me to
understand what is going on in a game.

Move selection is based on more chess knowledge.
Article here.
For me, enough reason to buy 9, if not both (since you should be able to
get 8 for under 20 bucks)

Fritz 9 is somewhat stronger and does better analysis. If you use Fritz to
do analysis, it is worth it, if not, it depends on how much you want to
have the latest version...

`Somewhat stronger' being approximately 50 Elo points over Fritz 8,
according to

Fritz 9 also has flashier graphics if that rocks your boat.
