Instead of concentrating on the further increase of playing strength – like adding 15 Elo points to its 3500+ rating – we have decided to create a new training tool for ambitious chess player. One that will teach you how to find brilliancies in your games. And it is a training tool that can be used by amateurs all the way to the World Champion, because Fritz 18 actually adjusts its playing strength, and the tactical opportunities it offers, to the proficiency of the opponent. |
Evolving Genius: Fritz shows you what you are capable of being: an attacking player who can conjure up magnificent brilliancies over the board! The new playing mode leads you via a clever choice of variations to brilliant sacrificial combinations. Intelligent tips: Fritz provides subtle hints which do not give away too much but which make it possible for you to be in control of difficult positions. Visual evaluation: Much better than just a single number! Piece placement, pawn structure, king safety, activity and sharpness of the position displayed graphically in the engine window. New chess board in Direct2D technology with a fresh look and improved animation New engine analysis: Interesting threats, appealing ideas and the game continuation are automatically analysed at the same time in multi-variation mode. Animated engine variations: Intuitive display of the best continuation on the board Improved calculation training to give your Elo a quick boost.
