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.

It sucks at personalities

Is it worth it to upgrade from Fritz 19 to Fritz 20?

yes it is .. well, it was a mistake to buy Fritz 19, will never get the money back..
Fritz 20 is better / works

I had a lot of trouble with Fritz 19 loading the Easy Game Engine opening book instead of the Opening Tree by default everytime I ran the program.

Has that been fixed in Fritz 20?

haven't spotted any issues in 20 compared to 19 so far!

it's same price I'm sure..

So I've been experimenting with the robot variables in Fritz 20.

Creating pretty accurate reproductions of famous players.

Let me know if anyone is interested in more.

Magnus Carlsen. Attack 5, Risk 3, Positional 10, Position 1, Exchanges -1

I believe an opening book can be created to match the easy mode custom players for an even better representation.

Can Fritz 20 play chess960?

Do the achievement/collector cards work as intended? Despite appearing in the bot chat, they do not appear on the webpage somehow. I wonder if this is the case for everybody.

Yes. Fritz 20 support chess960.

After I purchase Fritz 20, can I download it on more than one computer?

I don't see why not.

I've read that there's an AI chat option available.

Is it able to comment on individual moves or the ideas behind specific moves?

How exactly does this work?

Fritz 20’s AI chat can comment on individual moves and explain the ideas behind them in natural language. It uses over 170 chess themes to deliver real-time voice or text commentary, offering insights like tactical motives, strategic plans, or even playful banter depending on the opponent personality you’re facing. It’s designed to make training more interactive and fun, whether you’re a beginner or a seasoned player.

Could you please show me a sample screenshot of what it looks like?
