Maybe my graphic card was not good enough. I found this game to be very poor compared to Chessmaster programs

This is Fritz from Viva Media. This is such a sad knock off of the Fritz programs from Germany which the latest version is Fritz 11.
You would think that a USA company could put software together better then Germany for Americans, not so. This pales in comparison. Does not even come with a full year at playchess.com.
I guess that is why the price is low. You get what you pay for.

It took me a little while to get used the interface. I used the CM series before. Overall very adaptive to your style of play.

I bought this product because the only programs I read about were Fritz or Chess Master. It seemed like the “serious” players all used Fritz so I bought Fritz. I was very disappointed. The program was buggy, clunky, and not really fun to play. AND the tech support stunk! It took them more then a week to get back to me, just to tell me they had forwarded my email to someone else. Another week elapsed, and then they gave me the wrong advice and not only did they not fix the problem, but the program never ran well again.
So I have moved on to Shredder Classic 3 and I love it!! I am kind of surprised no one ever mentions Shredder. Shredder is awesome…Fritz stinks!
