Deep Fritz 12 - Blindfold Chess Via KEYBOARD

Sort:
plzResign

Hi everyone. I'm searching for an option to enter moves via keyboard, NOT by dragging the pieces with a mouse. I hope to play blindfolded chess this way (I know you can hide the pieces and all, but having to drag the pieces on board helps too much). Does anyone know if this function is supported by deep fritz 12?

Hi. This is not your answer but it might help.  In Shredder what you do is to start a new game and then close the board.  The algebraic notation is in a different window so only the board doesn't show on screen.  Then you just type e4, that is, the letter e and then the number 4.  The computer immediately responds e5 and then you just keep going.  In the screen you only see algebraic notation.  Cheers.

Okay, I realized I have Deep Shredder 12, not Deep Fritz 12, silly me. Lake, how do you close the board, and where can I find the window to input my moves?

Cool.  I have Shredder too.  You do CTRL+F1.  Or just right click in mouse and some dialog box shows for you to tick mark off what you want and don't want on the screen.  Hey, by the way, its kind of really silly you ask about Fritz but you have Shredder. hahahaha.
