Hi All,

I was thinking about buying Fritz for PS3 and I wondered if anyone here has tried it. All the reviews seem to be from non-chess playing people and no one really gives it a good workout. I'd be interested to know if it's actually a serious piece of chess software if it's just a game for beginners and/or people having a break from Final Fantasy 3000.

Cheers

If you just want to play on a gaming console or portable device, any flavor will work.

But if you want to use stronger engines built for 64-bit operating systems and multi-core computers along with well-constructed opening books and established endgame tablebases, stick with the PC. Cool
