Visual evaluation: Much better than just a single number! Piece placement, pawn structure, king safety, activity and sharpness of the position displayed graphically in the engine window.Intelligent tips: Fritz provides subtle hints which do not give away too much but which make it possible for you to be in control of difficult positions.Evolving Genius: Fritz shows you what you are capable of being: an attacking player who can conjure up magnificent brilliancies over the board! The new playing mode leads you via a clever choice of variations to brilliant sacrificial combinations.That is why we have based our analysis on practical utility: Fritz simulates a strong club player and LEADS you with subtle hints to a strong attack you can be proud of. For normal analysis, all engines find the best move within a few milliseconds in 99.99% of positions. The current engines are only tested against other engines. The "game value" of Fritz18 is massively better! The new Fritz18 engine has become about 30-40 Elo points stronger, but that is of no practical relevance. With Fritz18 you can train exactly that! And as a result you play real brilliant games! In addition to the "guided" attacking game, we visualise the engine calculations: how well are your pieces positioned? King security? Activity? Sharpness of the position? etc. Here, however, you learn to attack, to play actively, which you would not dare to do in a normal game against a human opponent. The old handicap levels are not comparable to this, because they only led to gross mistakes that were easy to see. This is possible thanks to AI-supported game management. You play against Fritz set as a strong club player (or adjustable in levels: amateur to grandmaster), who makes no obvious mistakes, but whom you will masterfully outplay. After some time you will get your results and you can compare them to the hypothetical 1 GHz Pentium III chip used as a reference in the program or compare them with friends to see who has the stronger processor in this benchmark.The new mode " Evolving Genius " is an outstanding innovation! You learn to play an attacking game interactively.
The program is free, portable and easy to use as all it takes is to run it and then click on the Start button. Featuresįritz Chess Benchmark is a rather simple benchmarking tool unlike the chess game.
Fritz Chess Benchmark 4.2 is a software tool that measures the power of your CPU by running chess algorithms and then compares it to the performance of a 1 GHz Pentium III processor in this benchmark. This is the reason why chess is used in modern computers both for playing and for benchmarking processors. Although chess may look like an easy game, the reality is that it is not as there are billions and billions of legal moves. It can be played by nearly anyone and anywhere as all it takes is a chessboard and then pieces. Chess is an ancient game but despite its old age it is immensely popular with people around the world.
