FRITZ continues to fascinate the chess world. It has beaten a reigning World Champion in the battle of man vs machine, and it has worked with World Champions as a clever training partner (Garry Kasparov: “I regularly analyse with FRITZ”) which will entertain you with fresh and humorous verbal comments.
NEW: DEEP FRITZ is now even faster. The completely redesigned ergonomic interface gives you instant access to
all the most important functions. This means more comfort and clearer controls. Never before has it been
so easy and fast to play with DEEP FRITZ.
DEEP FRITZ prepares you for serious encounters over the chessboard. Have you ever trained with a human
grandmaster? DEEP FRITZ provides you with twelve hours of video lessons for every level of play. Enjoy the
instructive analysis of master games, the discussion of clever openings traps, deadly combinations to solve.
The video material introduces you to world class grandmasters like Alexei Shirov, Rustam Kasimdzhanov,
Vladimir Kramnik, Vishy Anand, even chess legend Garry Kasparov. And if you cannot play chess DEEP FRITZ will
teach you the rules of the games – within an hour you will be playing your first game of chess.
DEEP FRITZ helps you to find friends. It includes a full year’s subscription to Playchess.com, the world’s biggest
chess server. Every day you have thousands of players logged into this virtual chess club. You will always
find an opponent that matches your playing strength. Or you can simply watch top tournaments and the
games of world-class grandmasters played live on the server.
NEW: DEEP FRITZ gives you Premium Membership to Playchess. Without further costs or obligations you will

simultaneous exhibitions against top GMs, watch the TV ChessBase shows and play in league tournaments.
