This is an excellent program for strong players, club and tournament players,and for novices who want to study the game in some depth. If you are a social player who just wants to play against a computer now and then, you could save money by opting for a program with fewer facilities. The facilities that come with Fritz are not particulary helpful anyway. The "coach" and "hint" features are useless to a beginner and annoying to a strong player. I saw my King was being threatened, and asked for a hint. Up came the message 'the white king is under threat' In another game there was only one square available for my checked King. I could see that this would be followed by mate. I moved to that square to let the computer have its victory. Up pops "coach" to tell me that the move would lead to disaster!
I switched off both these feature along with "chatter", "spy" and various other annoying things I shall never use. To sum up: Buy this if you really want to improve your game and are prepared to put in the necessary work. The database of games is terrific.
If you just play for fun, and are happy to remain that way.choose a basic program with fewer frills.
