FritzTrainer: Tutorial

A computer is fine but following chess on your TV can be even better. With a HDMI cable that connects your computer with your TV you can watch the Fritz Trainer DVDs on a big screen. However, most modern TVs already come with a browser in which case you don't even need the computer to enjoy chess on your TV.

FritzTrainer DVDs are easy to use but getting your FritzTrainer via download is even easier, especially in recent years when many laptop PCs ship without a DVD drive. This short tutorial shows why buying the download versions of the FritzTrainers are an elegant and easy way to improve your chess!

The Ruy Lopez is a perennially popular opening and all World Champions have played it, with White or with Black or with both colours. Studying it will improve your chess understanding — and your results! On three new FritzTrainer DVDs Fabiano Caruana, World Championship Challenger 2018, now explains the intricacies and attractions of this opening, offering White a complete repertoire. These FritzTrainers also impress with a technical novelty: they run on Macs, iPad, Android, and Windows!

When you finally bought a new computer you probably would love to immediately install ChessBase and Fritz to test the new machine. But you should take care to deactivate your ChessBase programs and Fritztrainers on your old computer. This helps to let the programs run smoothly on the new system. Here's how to go about it.

Did you know that you can use our Fritztrainers apps on a Mac without ChessBase software? The apps also offer many interesting functions, e.g. repertoire training, positions for training, various engine options, and much more. Take a look at our short video, which introduces all important functions.

The various ChessBase Fritztrainer DVDs cover all areas of chess - the opening, the middlegame and the endgame - and they help you to improve your chess. In a short video-tutorial Arne Kähler shows how to use the ChessBase program to get the most out of each Fritztrainer.

Many users have comfortable — one could almost say “huge” — computer screens. So it is not surprising that texts in our databases and also those of ChessBase Magazine look almost “ridiculously small”. But that does not have to be the case! Solution: in the latest versions there is a zoom function which becomes available after you update your software online!

Fritztrainer video courses now run everywhere! They run in a stand-alone app for Windows and Mac; they run in the ChessBase program; and now, brand new, they are streamable in the ChessBase video portal - for tablets, iPads and smartphones! In fact, regardless of whether you order the download or the DVD: you can watch the Fritztrainer as a stream in the video portal! Soon, all Fritztrainers of the last three years will be available for watching in our ChessBase Video portal.

From now on buyers of Fritztrainer DVDs can unlock and install a download version! So if you don't have a DVD drive (anymore), you can still buy a Fritztrainer on DVD-ROM. You can also install your previously purchased Fritztrainer DVDs on your new computer with the unlocked download. And you can give away a DVD with a clear conscience, because the download is always included. In addition, the stream is unlocked in the ChessBase video portal for iPads & Co! And of course you can buy the download directly in the ChessBase Shop and get it immediately!
