How to play Fritz 10 Windows

Read Full Description

The game should work fine on modern systems, tested on Windows 10. If the installation doesn't start - run Setup.exe in compatibility mode with old Windows OS and as administrator. If the installed game doesn't start - run it in compatibility mode with old Windows OS, like Windows XP

Notes:

  • It is recommended to install all versions of Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable and NET Framework for the correct work of the game. Also it is recommended to install K-Lite Codec Pack for the correct work of in-game videos
  • The game works on DirectX 9, so if you're using Windows 8, 8.1, 10 or 11 - you need to enable DirectPlay: Go to Control Panel, and select 'Programs'. Select 'Turn Windows features on and off', click on 'Legacy Components' and check the box 'DirectPlay'. Select OK, once the installation is done, restart your computer
  • At the first start the launcher of the game will ask to enter the serial key, enter one of serial keys from the text-file. If the launcher says that the serial key is not valid - simply click on "Cancel" and start the game, that serial key is required only for multiplayer game
  • If the game doesn't start on your system - try to use fixed executable file, that executable should work better with modern systems. It works fine with English version of the game, and probably will work for other languages too
  • Deep Fritz 10 is the version of Fritz for multi-core processors and supports CPUs with one to eight cores. Deep Fritz is a "parallel" release of Fritz, the first release of Deep Fritz was with the release of Fritz 6, it has the same content as the regular Fritz, but with better positional understanding and additional endgame knowledge
  • Rip of Deep Fritz 10 is "unofficial" compilation by Elgindy, it also includes Chessbase 8 & 9. All audio files were removed to decrease the size. If you have troubles with that Rip - check this thread (it is on Russian, use the translation machine)

Quando jogo esse jogo, sinto como se estivesse jogando xadrez. E isso é claro porque é um jogo de xadrez, sim, claro que é uma sensação incrível, difícil de explicar

What seems like a fairy tale today may become a reality tomorrow. Here we have a fairy tale the day after tomorrow.... It is possible that we can grow hair on our heads that become bald from the thought of chess....we asked for an explanation but satisfying answers did not came.... I hope the dear admin does not delete my comment, because what I am saying is a fact, without intending to offend any party. Thank you

I am very touched by this game...every time I play this game, I always cry..I remember my ex who left me...I love seahorses

I think chess is in coins. Humans forever play in one face. Now I'm playing on another face: "Antichess". Computers are like fortres where the owner forgets to close the small door at the back. You must enter through this door. Forget the front, but I forgot the side door, and in the end I chose to breed donkeys, oh it's so beautiful

I think it's a good game, I've been analyzing chess for decades, and finally now I've found the answer, which is to raise ducks, maybe even raise ducks. Thank you. The Duck Rules!!!

I just give likes and comments here to appreciate, I don't download them, I have all these programs, I used to buy them, and I'm not a parasite, it's just a small thing for me, for people who like to comment on parasite please don't post it for free download, because it's so sad now it's 2026 man, it's still lucky that there are people who want to see this game from ancient times!! THANK YOU

I remember when I was a kid I kept rabbits, and those were beautiful times, but now it doesn't feel like I'm old, I think now I'm just going to keep guinea pigs

Without change, something sleeps inside us, and rarely wakes up. Those who sleep must wake up, those who pay must be free, that is the change!! FREE RULES!! Thank you.

For me I have loved chess since I was a child, it is a real passion, but when I am an adult I like the opposite sex, and it is a hidden passion, thank you
