Hello Caissa devotees :-),
I would like to use Fritz to make some tutorials.
However I don't know how to add circels, arrows, highlight squares etc.
And can't find in the help function.
So, could anyone explain to me, what I should do, or perhaps suggest other chess,software to use?
Help is appreciated.

Graphic commentary
The program uses coloured arrows and squares to illustrate tactical points and make strategic themes and plans more clear. You can manually enter these using a combination of mouse and keyboard. Press the Alt key and click a square or draw a line from one square to another. This will give you a green square or arrow. Alt+Ctrl does the same in yellow, use Alt+Shift for red. Clicking on the area around the board will remove the arrows and colored squares. All of this is great for chess lectures.

I know this sounds stupid but( please, bear w/me) how do I do that?
if the pgn is in text, you just copy all the text, then, open fritz and hit "ctrl + v" (Edit/Paste/Paste Game) and there's your game.
if there's only a download option, you download the file, then open fritz, hit f12 (File/Open Database), then hit ctrl+o (again, File/Open Database) and find that pgn file.
To analyze the game, I recommend using infinite analysis (Game/Infinite Analysis).

There is also a way you can get all the games you have played on here
emailed to you in one long PGN.
http://www.redhotpawn.com/mygames/emailgames.php
You have to set the criteria. (number of moves, date etc)
and is limited to 100 games per PGN.
So if you want all 400 games you do this 4 times with different settings.
