FRITZ 20 is more than just a chess engine – it is a training revolution for ambitious players and professionals. Whether you are taking your first steps into the world of serious chess training, or already playing at tournament level, FRITZ 20 will help you train more efficiently, intelligently and individually than ever before. 

In the previous episode, we talked about the cooperation between the pieces. The pieces can work together in different ways. When two pieces both target a weak point in the enemy camp, it is a form of cooperation. Covering important squares, preferably in the enemy camp, can also be seen as a form of cooperation.

In the rather chaotic diagram position we see that White has three very active pieces while the black pieces on the queenside do not exactly make a harmonious impression.

White can exploit this factor in an original way. Do you see a promising continuation for White, that makes use of this factor and that makes the white pieces cooperate really well?
