Winning starts with what you know
The new version 18 offers completely new possibilities for chess training and analysis: playing style analysis, search for strategic themes, access to 6 billion Lichess games, player preparation by matching Lichess games, download Chess.com games with built-in API, built-in cloud engine and much more.
Chess programs have been high-performance utilities for a long time now – the higher your system performance, the greater the value they will be to you. But multi-processor systems only work if you have the “deep” version of a chess engine, because it is only then that the program can make use of multiple processor cores in parallel. Things are no different with the new Deep Fritz 13: on a dual-core computer the engine is already approx. 60% faster than the regular Fritz 13.
Deep Fritz 13 introduces the innovative “ChessBase Engine Cloud” and revolutionises the way we work with system resources. This new function makes it possible, for the very first time, to run deep position analysis, blunder searches, engine matches, etc. using engines located on remote computers, instead of overloading your own system. To you it looks like you are working on your own computer – it does not matter whether the engines are running on a separate machine right next to you in your study, on the office computer or in a computer centre in Australia.
If you own a number of computers you can run all your engines on all of them and harness the full processing power on a single PC. Or you can rent out your machines to other users via the “Cloud”. This is an especially exciting development for owners of high-performance computers or clusters. But the key point is: you can rent processing power from third parties and turn your little notebook or your “old faithful” into a tactical giant and strategic monster at the click of a button!
Join the community! “Let’s Check” is a revolutionary new feature of ChessBase that will change the chess world. With it Fritz users can join a world-wide community that is putting together a giant knowledge base for chess. Using Let’s Check while watching top games live on the Playchess server becomes an experience in itself. Not only do you have the very latest openings and statistics at your disposal, you can also see the results of the most powerful computers and engines that are logged into the server – total information on any computer, at the blink of an eye.
