Review and others
ComputerBild
ComputerBild is Europe's
largest computer magazine. In the latest issue (12/2003 vom 2.6.2003, S.136ff.)
there is a test of board game softtware and awarded Fritz 8 the top place. Quote:
"For many years now Fritz has been the reference program when it comes
to PC chess software. Version 8 fulfils all expectations."
The second place went to Shredder 7 (quote: "The playing strength is equal
to that of Fritz"). The version tested was one with reduced functions that
is being distributed to computer shops by the German company Koch Media.
It costs $20 less than Fritz 8.
