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.
As over-the-board chess slowly makes its way back, players are returning to the fray, looking to accomplish the goals they left on hold during the lockdown. That is the case of IM Craig Hilby, who needed to score 6½ out of 9 points to get his second GM norm at the Summer Charlotte IM/GM Invitational played on August 19-24.
Hilby had a 4½ score with two rounds to go. After defeating FM Gauri Shankar in round 8, he needed to win on demand with the black pieces in the final round to get his norm. He was paired up against IM Kevin Wang, and ended up getting what will surely turn out to be a memorable 38-move victory.
In round 2, he beat second seed GM Magesh Panchanathan with the black pieces. With all his pieces pointing at White’s king, Hilby found a formidable attacking move in the following position. Can you find it?
