Fritz 21: your training partner and sparring legend

Fritz 21 is where preparation meets practice. A multiple computer chess world champion rated 3,620 ELO, Fritz plays at exactly the level you set and pushes you on every move. • Face the legends: challenge Lasker, Tal, Fischer, and Karpov, now brought to life as animated characters who watch and comment on your moves
• Choose the fight: set Fritz to play aggressively, positionally, exchange-oriented, or risk-taking, and train against realistic human styles
• Sharpen your calculation: the new Bullet Training mode teaches you to keep a clear head under time pressure

Better together

Here is where the bundle earns its place. The style analysis in ChessBase 26 feeds directly into Fritz 21's style simulation, so the two programs are built to work as one. Analyze your latest game in ChessBase 26, pinpoint the weakness that cost you the point, then load Fritz 21 and drill that position against an opponent tuned to exploit it. Prepare a line in the morning, battle-test it in the afternoon. Study, play, repeat. That feedback loop is the fastest route to a higher rating, and no single program gives you both halves of it.
