About this game

Anyone who knows how to play chess has almost certainly heard of Fritz. In its early years Fritz was small enough to install on your PC from a ""floppy disk" (something today’s youngest players have probably never even heard of!). In 1995, Fritz won the Computer Chess World Championship, and soon made its way around the world on CD ROMs. The latest version, Fritz 15, is among the strongest multi-core engines in the world.

Now you can play Fritz on your mobile devices!

Chess is meant to be fun – and that’s why the Fritz App has several different playing modes. On the "Amateur" level, you can beat him comfortably. On level "Club Player", you get realistic games where Fritz will actively allow tactic combinations. Switch him to "Master" and it will become tough. Fritz will know every opening variation ever played in master games. But you still have your chances: The innovative "Assisted Play" function will give you subtle hints and protect you from simple blunders.

Ratings and reviews

One of the best overall in challenging levels, hints, and rated game along with a few historic games to review--free! UPDATE -- I still think highly of the Fritz app, however now as I go on to play rated games the app continually freezes and locks up. I've tried the app on my other phones as well as reincerting the app and the same issue arises. It's not always the case but about 50% of the time.

Fritz is a powerful way to learn Chess,as it gradually builds your skills, all the way to Grandmaster. It's very valuable! since it notifies you, regarding your progress throughout the game + it let's you know about the Book moves. In retrospect, the history reports are excellent, and the many other features, makes Fritz my numero 1 Chess App...without any reservations...

Great engine and app, although the engine stops playing during friendly (haven't tried rated) games even after pressing the play now button, and the app crashes which is very frustrating. Comes with a superb engine and a polished interface, just needs that bug ironed out!
