Fritz
12 – the flagship chess programFritz is the world’s most popular chess program, developed by ChessBase, “the world's leading chess software company” (Washington Post). Version 12 is now available and shipping.
Whether you are a beginner, club player or professional – Fritz has everything that chess players could want: automatically adjusting playing strength, handicap and coaching functions, explanation of positions, coloured danger warnings, openings statistics, automatic game analysis, trainings modules for openings, tactics, endgames, and a database of one million games.
Fritz gives you Premium Membership to Playchess. Without further costs or obligations you are able to listen to the audio commentary during major events, you can receive live training, play in simultaneous exhibitions against top GMs, watch the TV ChessBase shows and play in league tournaments.
It is not a completely trivial task to get to know all the functions of a program as sophisticated as Fritz. Naturally there is an electronic manual in which every aspect of its operation is described in detail. But some people don't read manuals – on principle.
So how can you learn the entire functionality of Fritz 12 without looking in the manual? With an multimedia teacher, that's how. Nick Murphy demonstrates in his video lectures how to use Fritz and all of his functions. Just click on the symbol below and the lecture starts immediately. The first video tells you how to install Fritz 12 on your computer. Click on any of the following links to follow Nick Murphy's lessons.
