 still needs work February 17, 2009
Keith Lillie (Oregon)
I bought deep fritz because I was already familiar with Chessmaster and I wanted to see what Fritz had to offer. From some of the other reviews I,d already gathered that they both can be buggy. I also read a review on Fritz that parts of it were in German and that the user could not get that part of the program to work in English. I ignored that because after a review like that surely they will have fixed it by now. Nope. I still give the program 3 stars because it has an excellent engine and does most of what it says. It is "not" user friendly. I know this program was capable of more than I was able to figure out in the short time I had it. So buyer beware. They may "not" have fixed the little idiosyncrasies. But if they haven't you can always return it. On a side note, I have a feeling Shredder may be a better, more stable program but it may cost a little more.

my husband loves his new chess game. He likes the fact that he doesn't have to go online to play and it's challenging for him.

Awesome Chess Engine, But... January 27, 2008

Deep Fritz is an incredible chess engine. The big thing it lacks is training and mentoring. I have been out of the game of chess for a while and wanted to work on and sharpen my chess skills. Playing Deep Fritz for me was like going from T-Ball to the Major League overnight! When Deep Fritz recognizes you're not a high level player, it will reduce its level of play though. I did end up getting Chessmaster as well which does have an incredible training and mentoring component to it (IMHO). The difference in engine strength between the two is very noticeable (Fritz being much better) but Chessmaster has much more flexibility in how you can use it to train and learn. My bottom line opinion: If you're an expert, Deep Fritz is your best bet. If you're a beginner even up to an expert, Chessmester may be a better option. Oh, one other thing about Chessmaster: you do indeed have to keep the disk in the drive to use the software - get with the times Ubisoft!
 Not for the beginer. November 22, 2007

This product is not for the begining chess player. Interface is dificult to use. Find a free chess program and save your money. The manufacturer claims this is a training aid. Bull!
