The common man also plays chess
Nick Murphy is an avid chess player and an actor by profession. When he first toured Germany with a Shakespeare company, he also visited Hamburg and passed by the ChessBase office as a ChessBase user. But not everything is Shakespeare for an actor, so Nick Murpy has worked in many other areas as well. He has been on staff for London's Chess & Bridge shop. And for ChessBase users, he recorded video tutorials in which he explained the features of various Fritz program.
Fritz 16 is looking forward to playing with you, and you're certain to have a great deal of fun with him too. Tense games and even well-fought victories await you with "Easy play" and "Assisted analysis" modes.
Together with International Master Lorin D'Costa, Nick Murphy also recorded three "master & amateur" style DVDs.
Avoid long theoretical battles by playing 3.Bb5 or 3.b3/3.g3 against the Sicilian. Lorin D'Costa and Nick Murphy show you, how you play for an advantage in these systems and how to punish knowledge gaps of your opponent.
