Fritz Chess 14

FRITZ CHESS 14 is a chess program for playing, studying and training, with an engine that adjusts its playing strength automatically. It offers coaching and explanations of chess positions, color-coded danger warnings, opening statistics, automatic game analysis and training modules for openings, tactics and endgames.

Play and train

You can play the engine at adjustable strengths, use hints in Friend Mode, or watch engines compete in Engine Match. The program also includes engine management, game analysis and commentary, and a complete video course by Andrew Martin, “The Two Knights – A Tricky Repertoire for White.”

Analysis and databases

The game database contains over 1.5 million games. Let’s Check provides access to a database of over 200 million extensively analyzed positions. When you analyze a position in depth, FRITZ 14 can send the main line and evaluation to a central server for other participating users; you can also view and compare analysis from different chess engines. This feature is available through December 2015.

FRITZ CHESS 14 includes 18 3D chessboards, animated 3D opponents, nine 2D chessboards and five sets of 2D pieces. Its cloud features let players of different abilities play and train online, and include the option to watch games.
