I refuse to pay the cost of the latest software....so today i was in the classy "Target" department store....and i saw Fritz.
I know it was Fritz cause on the cover it advertised that you get 3 months of playchess.com for free.
Also it said on the cover...."Grandmaster challenge II"
So is this Fritz 2?

I don't know for certain. However, I have seen that with Fritz proper you would have a full year of access to playchess.com....
I'm sure someone with your software will enlighten us further.

Seriously though, I checked the Viva-Media site. No info on which engine it uses. Maybe if you look in the engine folder after you install it, you might be able to tell which engine it is. Chessbase engines will have a file extension of eng.

Originally posted by pijunI got Fritz 7, it ain't "buggy". I've never heard that claimed about any version of Fritz. I doubt if fritz 9 would be noticeably stronger to anyone, I can't beat Fritz 7 at 5 seconds/move.
you have Fritz 7?
this guy says it's buggy, and he wants Fritz 9 (so this came before), and it tells him to insert the Fritz 7 CD.. so I guess you have 7 ?

Originally posted by arterioesIt probably does, but I can't say for sure. I gave my Fritz 8 away a long time ago.
Can someone help me out with this. I am getting fritz 8 for a pretty decent price on ebay. Will it run on vista as i have vista? the seller doesnt seem to know.Thanks
I don't know what you are paying for your copy on eBay, but if it is a used copy then the code has probably already been used and subsequently you won't get your free year on playchess.com.
Fritz 8 is really cheap, and can be found 'new' on many web sites at a bargain basement price. The 'new' ones have the advantage of still having live registration codes.

Originally posted by arterioesI'm doubtful. I have fritz 9, which has "compatibility issues" with Windows Vista ðŸ˜
Yes its a new copy. I am getting it for 200 Indian rupees which works out to about 6-7 USD.
Does anyone here run fritz 8 on vista?
Which brings me to a question of my own: which chess programs DO work on vista?
