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.
Nowadays tournaments are being played in every country under the sun, and more and more chess fans from all over the world want to experience what is happening live at the playchess.com. The way the broadcasts have been re-structured on the playchess.com server, which is one of the most important and forward-looking innovations in Fritz 12. This was the only way to allow you to access exactly those games you wanted to look at in view of the continually growing number of events.
A further pace-setting feature of Fritz 12 is the new premium membership of playchess.com. At no further cost to yourself and with no attached conditions, as a user of Fritz 12 you can enjoy a full year of all the training offered on playchess.com. Switch on to TV- and Radio-ChessBase and listen to commentators such as GM Daniel King, GM Yasser Seirawan and many others, an example being the recent live broadcasts from London.
As an up-to-date highlight, we bring you in a demo video Magnus Carlsen’s live analysis of his game against Vladimir Kramnik!
Make good use of the training on offer every evening from title holders such as GM Daniel King, IM Merijn van Delft or FMs Valeri Lilov and Dennis Monokroussos, in order to sharpen up your feel for strategy or to extend your openings horizon.
In the programme listings for premium members, you will find what is on offer for that particular week. It doesn’t matter whether it is live commentary or a training lecture, it doesn’t matter whether you listen in live or play back a ChessBase TV broadcast at a later point – with Fritz 12 you can access the premium content at any time. In addition, premium members get regular opportunities to take part in simultaneous displays against FIDE title holders. And last but not least, in spring 2010 a new premium league will be set up on playchess.com, exclusively for our premium members.
