Fritz 16 - He just wants to play!
Fritz 16 is looking forward to playing with you, and you're certain to have a great deal of fun with him too. Tense games and even well-fought victories await you with "Easy play" and "Assisted analysis" modes.
This week's pair of games are by Indian junior Tarun V Kanth who is from Chennai in Tamil Nadu (Viswanathan Anand home city).
He writes:
I am a grade 12 student aged 16 and have a current Elo of 2102. I have been playing chess from the age of 9 and am coached under the guidance of GM R.B. Ramesh, who is also the coach of the worlds youngest IM and second youngest GM Praggnandhaa R. and of the Indian team in the Olympiad.
I have represented the country in the 2016 world youth and Asian Junior 2016 and represented India in the 2015 — 2018 Commonwealth Championship. My highest rating is 2227. I am currently playing in Poland (2ND Irena Warakomska Memorial). My idol in chess is Viswanathan Anand.
The two games he sent me are a somewhat agonising battle where he accepted a draw in what turned out to be a winning position and his first ever win against a grandmaster. He sent plenty of notes which I've added to, as usual, as JS and we start with the former.
