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.
Last week we examined Caruana’s model game in the first round of the Sinquefield Cup, and that left the impression that Caruana might have very well dominated the tournament. Top-level chess is no longer that predictable though, and in the fifth round Xiong managed to score a historic win against his country’s highest-ranked player.
The game was fairly messy, and Xiong’s position was not at all good at some point, but that as well is typical of modern-day chess.
Warm-up question: What would you play here with White?
