Abstract: The Sznajd model, where two people having the same opinion can convince their neighbors on the square lattice, is modified in the sense of Deffuantet al.and Hegselmann, that only neighbors of similar opinions can be convinced. Then consensus is easy for the competition of up to three opinions but difficult for four and more opinions.
