Fritz 17 - The giant PC chess program, now with Fat Fritz
The most popular chess program offers you everything you will need as a dedicated chess enthusiast, with innovative training methods for amateurs and professionals alike.
While the World Cup is wildly entertaining, our attention was drawn to the German Masters, which was sensationally won by the talented young grandmaster Luis Engel with a round to spare.
Without any fear, he checkmated one strong grandmaster after the other, in mind-blowing fashion. Luis has a very original style of play, with his own interpretation of otherwise normal openings.
The calculated risks handsomely paid off in the decisive 8th round battle against his HSK teammate Rasmus Svane.
Warm-up question: What would you play here with White?
