At the turn of the century, Fritz fascinated the chess world with victories over Garry Kasparov and then-reigning World Champion Vladimir Kramnik. The "most popular chess program" offers you everything you will need as a dedicated chess enthusiast.
Just bought this to improve my chess. Tried for over 10 hours to get certain functions to work. Only to discover that this is a steam edition.... Which means that there are some features missing that are quite essential in my opinion. After discovering this i wanted a refund because clearly this wasn't what i had in mind.

It's a ripoff. It's ridiculously expensive at $80 and the overall software quality is very low. When I spend $80 on a game, I expect that software to be damn perfect.

Do not buy this game. It is the stripped down version. You will not be able to access Gamebase.com for training or etc.
a lot of tabs and info is faded. Not the full game... I didn't know that until after 2 hours which is the limit of refund...
So disappointed in Steam... :(
Very good if you only buy for GUI. It is generally good. Bur price can be salty. Wouldn't be worth to pay more than 10 dollars.
Sadly this doesn't work on steam deck, the game doesn't scale, control commands are off the screen and the sound glitches. I've tried different proton layers, launch commands, full screen, windowed, gamescope etc all to no avail. Works on a PC but if you want to play chess on the go get a different program. Would I recommend, PC version is boiled down...
