Polina Karelina vs. Fritz 19 - The Timid (Strong Club Player)

by ChessBase
11/18/2023 – The final game is upon us, and Polina Karelina has to win against the timid mouse character. If not, Fritz 19 won the battle against the humans, since the engine leads with 3:2. The Woman Candidate Master of the Bahamas has a FIDE rating of 1839, but is brave enough to fight the strong club player level! Luckily, the cowardly opponent is the weakest animal of Fritz 19. But on this difficulty level, it is a mighty mouse!

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.
