How to play Fritz Chess 11 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:

  • Your antivirus may trigger on the disc of English version because of Skidrow.exe, it showed many generic warnings. It is "trash" file left by scene releaser Skidrow, it does nothing, just ignore it. That disc is safe to use, all installation files are clear
  • 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
  • For unknow reason, the English version has a bug when the database is not loading. Luckily, the German version has 2 languages, German and English, so if you have troubles - install the German version and select English language in Options (Optionen)
  • Fritz 11 WM Edition was the special release of Fritz 11 on the occasion of World Chess Championship 2008 and the match between two strongest chess players of that time, Vladimir Kramnik and Vishy Anand. Compared to the regular version, the WM Edition includes extra materials: the video about two world champions and their playing styles, and two special opening books with repertoires of the World Championship candidates
  • Deep Fritz 11 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
  • Setup for Deep Fritz 11 is "unofficial", the installer is on Russian. But the installed game has two languages, English & Russian. We included text-file with installation instruction in the archive

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 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

When you see a good program, look for a better free program

a good sparing GUI with the various rated game options and engines, the engines can off course be incorporated with other UCI GUIs, I also like the sound effects and the jubilation when winning a game, At my local chess club I'm lucky if I get a nice cup of tea

Human chess is partly about tactics and strategy, but mostly about confused
