I was never in any chess tournaments or clubs. I learned how to play when I was 5. I have been playing casually since, off and on. Since my upgrade from wind 7, (I miss dearly, win 8 & 10 sucks), to 8, then to 10, I lost the standard programs that came with Win 7. Chess program was one of them. It was simple and easy to play. I bought Fritz 14 due to the lack of any decent chess programs that I was coming\/searching across\/for. I purchased Fritz 14 and I am not happy with it. It is the most unfriendly interface that I have ever experienced. I can not figure out how to set up games against te computer. I barely able to get a game going against a human (Sending my moves via email to my bro in prison) via emal. I recieve his move via email and I move his piece. This is fine. He is the only one I play. There is so much junk, not explained, junk to me anyways, and it's worse than maze of tangled fishing line. I guess if you love chess, and you are not Einstein, find a simpler chess program. Believe me, this program is not user friendly, I have many, many hours of frustration, and always ends with giving up. Try again a month or so later, still frustrating. The help feature is really bad. You can only enter predermined questions and so you have to settle for a listing that's "Close enough" to what you are asking it. The answer is short vague, and not helpful. Not in my case so far. I have yet to figure how to start a game against the AI. Tons and tons of databases that does not make sence. I just want to play chess, I don't give a crap of games already played, especially by some one else, even if it was Einstien's game or not. Save your money, save your frustrations for something worth being frustrated over, and just settle for a simple, inexpensive chess program. I will have to search again for such. Win 7 version not compatible with win10. After all, check out the number of reviews on Fritz 14 (positive ones), sure, mostly positive, but they are all the Einstiens in the world, and they are only about 40 of them in existance. I am not one of them of course. ;op. While very in-depth, you expect much more completeness and polish from a $40 game. It's basically an excel spreadsheet version of chess with a ton of options. The user interface is the worst and there are plenty of bugs. Once interface is better I may update review.. This is a great software to run engines in, as well as the three engines included. This is also the only chess software that is available through Steam that takes itself seriously. So you don't have many options anyways. I bought this on Steam sale when it was $19.99 and $9.99 for "64 bit dlc". You probably would only use the latest Fritz 14 engine, so basically you get one good engine and two old ones. There is a ton of included games from history from all the famous players. They can be searched by all criteria like years, last names, etc. There are many analysis options. You can see suggested moves on the go or analyse the whole game. One nice feature is intentionally vaguely worded hints. They give enough descriptive advice but don't directly give you the best move. You have an option for exact moves though.While the core of the game is pretty good. But it is really puzzling how a known chess software maker can make a good engine and not take the effort to include more options in its main selling point which is the 2D and 3D representation of the chess board. You get very few options for the 2d chess board. There are nice wooden texture and tones included, but there are just five total! It doesn't even have the green and white traditional vinyl board colors that many players are used to. Doesn't have solid color options. You get too few chess graphics as well, and only 3 out of 5 are any good. The other two are abstract designs no one would use. The 3d chess board graphics look nice but they look like they've been made very lazily. For example you get a number of options for traditional 3d pieces and boards but they can only be combined with solid color background. You can adjust something as insignificant as lighitng and reflection, but don't get many texture options for the background. The themed 3d graphics with backgrounds are pretty good, but they're mainly for novice players. In my opinion the experienced players would not bother running these nice looking 3d graphics since they are used to plain 2d diagram.So basically I'd give it a 7 out of 10. You get lots of advanced options but not enough color and graphics variation. I'd even be willing to purchase additional ones as DLC if they were available. But there aren't any. Seems like such a missed opportunity to simply add more colors and graphics options. The only explanation I can think of is lazyness.. Fritz 14 is an excellent, if confusing, piece of chess software. The mileage you get out of Fritz equals the amount of work you put into learning how to utilize its interface. If you want a simple chess program that is both aestheticly pleasing and fun to play against there are better options than Fritz. However, if you are looking for a robust program to analyze your chess games in minute detail, Fritz is perfect.The built in chess engines are moderately powerful and sufficient for most players. Deep Fritz 14 is available as DLC if you want an engine that can fully utilize more powerful hardware. There are also more powerful (and free) engines readily available online that plug into the Fritz GUI with little trouble. I have personally been using Stockfish 5 and it has been working perfectly.If you want to improve your chess game there are few tools I have encountered more valuable than Fritz.. Good program but the absence of a pdf manual is a real downside.. Updating from Fritz 8 is perhaps unnecessary: the older version by and large does the same thing. That said, I have not regretted purchasing Fritz 14 as I will try to establish below.The newer Chessbase-themed GUI is very nice, but the chief benefit is that it is easier to manoeuvre the database. That in essence is the purpose of the Fritz chess suite: chess-playing software is ubiquitous and cheaper (and can play a stronger game: see the open-source multi-core Stockfish) but offering native Chessbase Reader (free) support along with plain-English analysis is of greater value for the serious chess student.In limited games, I've found the Fritz 14 engine to be stronger than the Fritz 8 engine (processing power held constant) but that wouldn't be important really unless I was GM-standard.Overall the cleaner interface wins the day. Dispensing the CD-media to enable the Steam experience is also very convenient, and I look forward to taking my Fritz experience anywhere my light laptop can go.. Excellent chess game. The interface for Fritz 14 and Chessbase.com is clunky and not intuitive. But a little effort on learning the mechanics will pay off.. Pros: Strong engine. Awesome online community. Can watch grandmasters games and all tournaments. 6 month playchess\/chessbase subscription. Easy chess engine import and implementation. No brainer for anyone who loves to play chess.Cons: Tutorials are hidden and lacking in content . . . (find them in your "C:\\Users\\[NAME]\\Documents\\ChessBase\\Media files\\" folder. Crazy number of options with no documentation. Not really for beginners who wish to learn without playing online (but then again, the best way to learn how to play chess is to . . . play chess, not read books or tutorials).Overall, the cons are minimal and can be ignored. If someone wants to learn how to play chess, YouTube has a TON of free content. Fritz allows for amazing analysis of games, very large chess database (which is easily expandable via numerous file type support) and online kibbitzing with some of the best players on the planet.I highly recommend this for anyone who is serious about chess.. I first met Fritz many years ago when it was the talking chess program and was mentioned together with Kasparov in New in Chess - Yes he was actually playing back then. User interface is a bit nicer but really no major improvements. Included multimedia is aimed at beginners. Some more games commented by a stong player would be nice (remember the Karpov comments with (I think) chessmaster 3000?). The engine is still terribly strong for a measely human like me. It's still just Fritz - a strong program with nice database options - both for reference and for storing your own games.Is it a good buy? Well if you just want a chess program and a database then you should probably look at free options on the internet. But if you want to play at Playchess.com and use their material then it looks like a good deal because of the 6 months included membership. Should you consider upgrading with the DLC for 'Deep Fritz'? - well are you a superstrong chess player? I'm not so I wont. In fact I'm very happy with the chance to get Fritz+playchess for a good price and I dont miss 'Deep multicore etc.' options. For reference I'm a "hobby" player with an Elo rating around 1900.
