With Pocket Fritz you can play chess on your Pocket PC anywhere and anytime you like. Or you can take a quick look at opening variations on your way to a tournament. Or check out the most recent games of your opponent. Pocket Fritz is the chess master in your shirt pocket. It may be small in size, but its playing strength is gigantic. It even got a draw in the match against the world class GMs Michael Adams and Peter Leko at the Chess Classic in Mainz 2001. Its performance rating was Elo 2505. However, if you really set your mind to it, you can still beat Pocket Fritz. In case you make a terrible blunder, the built-in coach will help you. Or you can pick up the latest tactics lessons from the Internet and solve the problems on your way to work or school. Pocket Fritz can do much more. For example it will analyze games with you and save them in a database. What's more, if you connect your Pocket PC to the Internet (e.g. through a mobile phone) you have full access to the giant ChessBase Online Database which contains almost two million games. Pocket Fritz will show you if the current position has ever occurred before and which moves were played. You will find a review by

You can analyze with the computer, using multiple variations if you want, you can enter positions, create databases, save or copy games. Everything that is required for your daily chess routine seems to be in this machine.
