    When it comes to studying openings and endgames, which program would you choose, Chessmaster 10 or Fritz 10? Anyone with any experience?

    Books are much better IMHO. Go to a library near you and borrow a few of these. Books by William Hartson, Yasser Seirawan etc are quite good. Alternatively find a chess club, join and then play OTB and borrow their books.

    Cm10 is better than Fritz on the subject of training, I think.

    I have several versions of Fritz as well as the latest Chessmaster. I've been using Chessmaster for eighteeen years, and Fritz for five.

    I use Fritz nearly every day, and Chessmaster about once per month. There is no comparison.

    I have both. I think I am not using my F9 to its full potential. How can a beginner benefit from Fritz?

    Play against it on sparring mode.

    Practice "won" games against it: when Grandmasters resign, the position is lost, but usually some technique is required. Some games can be finished easily by beginners, but others (though won) still require a bit of skill to finish.

    Use it to analyze your games.
