Fritz 12 analysis

Hi,

My name is Jimmy and I’m a fellow chess lover. I purchased Fritz 12 a few weeks ago and although I love it I am having trouble working out what is probably a very simple function. I have been reading lots of online instructions, YouTube tutorials etc but am still unable to work out a solution to my problem. In my search I came across this forum and it sounds like you guys know your stuff when it comes to Fritz 12 so I thought I’d write you and ask for your help.  The problem I have is with the analyse function. I am able to locate the games I want to analyse and I pretty much understand how to analyse games however I don’t know what to do when the program is finished with the analysis. I mean it doesn’t do anything. To explain myself a little better Ill give you a quick rundown on what I mean.

1 I have the game I want to analyse loaded in Fritz and open

2 I click on the Analysis tab then click on the Full Analysis icon

3 From the Analysis Open Window I select the way I want Fritz to analyse the game e.g. 10 min Verbose and Graphical.

4 Click OK

So far all seems to be working fine, and the program starts its analysis. In about 10 minutes the program is finished with the analysis.

This is where I am having problems…..

What do I do from here? I mean I don’t know how to access the analysed information.

On the right side of the screen is a notation window with all the moves of the game and underneath is the Fritz 12 engine. The notation window has very little advice – for example 8.e4 d6 9.Bd3 c5 10.d5 White gains space 11.Ne2 and then it just lists the moves until the end of the game without any advice, blunders etc. There has got to be more...

Any assistance would be much appreciated

Regards

Jimmy

It should be giving you alternate moves and (limited) comments. If you post one of your games here without fritz analysis i will dwnload the pgn and run it through my fritz 12 and send you the result to compare. Fritz 12 is not a verbose annotator, in my experience. Nor is it a substitute for your own human analysis or even the analysis forum here on chess.com. I had a game vs a GM analyzed by 1. Fritz 12, 2. Rybka 4 sse42x64, and 3. FM Elliott Liu (here on chess.coms ChessTV: your games analyzed). Elliott's on-the-fly analysis was crushingly superior.
