I think the rating level features you're looking for have disappeared with Fritz 15. I sure don't see them.
The new "Friend Mode" has apparently supplanted the fun levels and "sparring mode," etc.

Thanks Crappov.
I was hoping for more from the application, but I keep feeling like the people who publish Fritz are pretty sure that their users should do things a certain way, rather than empowering them with more options and allowing them to decide for themselves.
Disappointing, and my fault for paying for it before I knew more.
I want to play a casual, unrecorded (unrated) game of chess in (Deep) Fritz 15, choosing the color of my pieces and the rating level of the "opponent's" play.
I can't find a way to do it.
If I want to choose the rating-level of the "opponent's play" I seem to have to use the "rated game" mode and then I'm forced to use the color that the program chooses for me. If I resign and then start another game (which will be the opposite color) it spoils my Fritz 15 rating, which I don't want messed with anyway.
I've seen some arguments for the way some of the modes work in this application, as well as in Fritz 14 (which I also own) and they have their merits, but they also seem like nannying to me if they take away other options that I take for granted in the ten or so other chess applications I own.
In any case, can anybody help?
