how is fritz 20

any opinion on fritz 20

Fritz 20 could be considered (in my opinion) a more complete product than compared to 19. For example, the personalitys now adhere to time-managment in a more realistic way (in 19 the personalitys moved instantly, which felt artificial for me). You can also now configure a personality to train against. I like the new design for the interface.

Fritz 20 has a new interface, also used in the latest version of ChessBase.

Has 3 more personalities (Hypermodern, Robot - with adjustable attributes and VIP - Morphy, Lasker, Capablanca, Tal, Fischer and Karpov). The way it plays, it seems to be more realistic than Fritz 19.

Also, the engine seems to be more optimized with regard to the CPU usage. I played Fritz 19 on a laptop and the fans were always spinning like crazy. This doesn't happen with Fritz 20.

There are a few ruff edges but probably will be polished in future updates.

I agree, not sure but 20 feels less laggy, could be due to better optimization.
