Rating:  - Fritz Chess
Great fun for your favorite beginning chess player.
The computer comments are a blast.
Rating:  - Excellent program that could be better
The real question for most chess players looking for some chess software is whether to buy Fritz or Chessmaster. I have used both for many years. I actually go back to the days of Chessmaster 2100, which had the playing strength of perhaps a subclass F player, if such a player existed.
Fritz Chess is Fritz 10 in a different package that will run on Vista. Unlike Chessmaster it will run without the DVD being in the drive. As such it is an outstanding piece of software, the undisputed ... Read More
Rating: - Very good and cheap chess software
This is a cheaper but full version of the Fritz X software.
I have used it with Vista on a laptop. There were no bugs, the chess software, the database and the training programs runs without any problems.
You can also use this software to store and analyze your games.
However, the chess engine is very strong for beginners.
If you have used Fritz before, this program has significantly improved interface and engine than its predecessors.

Another week elapsed, and then they gave me the wrong advice and not only did they not fix the problem, but the program ... Read More
Rating:  - Good Chess Engine Bad Old Interface
I have been a long time user of Chessbase's products (ever since Fritz 4 (early 90s)). I purchased Fritz 10 because Fritz 11 was twice as expensive and had many bad reviews. Fritz 10 looks almost identical to Fritz 8 (what I had before). The engine is definitely stronger (Fritz 10) in terms of comp vs comp strength however the interface is exactly the same. Like a lot of Chessbase's recent products it is buggy and crashes if you don't use it just right (especially when doing Engine Room matches in the ... Read More
