Hello,
i just saw that Fritz 15 is now available in german:
http://shop.chessbase.com/de/products/fritz_15_deutsch
So, this question goes to my german-speaking chess fans:
did anybody buy it already? what are your first impressions?
i am really on the edge of buying it, the features seem to be quite impressive...
It will be available in English too, and Spanish, Dutch and French in a few days.
What new features have impressed you?
these 2 features (+ the chessbase webtools) are very interesting:
New Fritz, new friend
The completely reworked “friend” mode makes Fritz 15 the ideal training partner. During the course of a game, Fritz is able to constantly tailor its level to your playing strength and how much time you are using. The program can give you a sign when a tactical opportunity presents itself or point out typical mistakes to help you improve. Another exciting element is the new evaluation function that analyzes your playing strength throughout the game. Where are your strengths – where are your weaknesses? The opening? Middlegame? Or perhaps the endgame? Fritz 15 gives you an ELO rating for all three phases! You definitely need to see this!
Improve your conversion technique
“I should have won that!” How often have you been frustrated after playing a good game of blitz on playchess.com that somehow went wrong? Stoke your curiosity and find out what could have been with Fritz 15 – Fritz can now show you what you missed right after the game. You can, of course, also try to find the way to win yourself using the handy exercise function – an approach certain to boost your own conversion technique and playchess ELO!
edit: thanks, notmtwain :)
It would be easier for you to just copy the Fritz ad in English: http://shop.chessbase.com/en/products/fritz_15_english
Only the German version is available today. Please check if the engine is UCI compatible, and run some short games against Stockfish if possible.
According to a thread at TalkChess, the new Fritz engine is UCI.

Also, there are already some engine testing results at IPON.

I just got started with Chessbase products a couple of months ago and am interested in this, too. Right now I'm running Fritz 14 SP + Komodo 9.1.
