Who is Fritz 19?

Fritz 19 emphasizes an immersive method of playing versus a machine. The six AI characters it introduces are:

Allrounder
Aggressive
Positional
Swindler
Timid
Endgame Expert

which simulate average club players' playing styles and include purposeful tactical errors to make the game feel genuine.

The program provides users with a number of help modes and advice, along with a trophy system that uses digital trade cards to recognize exceptional movements and an "assisted calculation" mode for stress-free training.

The Computer Chess World Championship 2023 also comes with updated analytical tools which can implement your personal databases, improved training capabilities, and a new engine.

Fritz 19

Attacker, coward, swindler or endgame wizard: I'll show you how to win against anyone! After my World Championship victories in 2022 and 2023, I am the reigning Chess Software World Champion and am now looking forward to showing you how to become even stronger against your opponent. With my innovative training method, I simulate typical player personalities you know from tournaments and online chess: brash attackers, cautious cowards, passive players. But how do you win against them? Fritz will show you how!
