Training games with Fritz 18


Answer

The new Easy mode of Fritz 18 is ideal for playing training games. The special thing about this mode is the fact that the Elomonster gives the user support with more or less detailed tips and hints.

The user gets hints and tips so that the game - almost always - becomes a positive experience for the user. In this way, the basic ideas of an opening are deepened and the user's confidence in his own knowledge is strengthened.

Before we get started, let's take a look at the settings with which you should use the mode.

In the first step you should always set the playing strength with which the program acts and gives the hints/tips.

If you persistently ignore hints regarding the goodness of your decisions, the program will eventually act seriously and try to win.

A special feature of the new mode is also that the game is always played as a free unrated game without a chess clock. So there is no stress with the thinking time and you can concentrate completely on your game. If the program "thinks" too long, you call off the move via the Move Now button.

The training effect is enormous and if you still use the analysis functions of the program consistently, you can further increase your playing strength interactively with the program. After finishing the game, save it consistently in a separate database.

You can replay the game again at your leisure. Thereby you can check it with the help of an engine, which is not throttled in playing strength this time. This also shows where suboptimal play took place and the training game has a high benefit. You should definitely examine the game in the classic game mode with the full analysis.

So you get a fully analyzed and partially annotated with text game analysis!
