The 3D catalog: game boxes on wooden shelves, with the cat sitting at the counter next to its greeting.

The catalog in 3D

The same catalog has a room you can walk around in. The cat behind the counter is the AI Catbot, and they pick real games from it when you tell them what you feel like playing. Nothing is for sale, here or in there. Go in from here and this game is already out on the counter, with more like it waiting on the shelf next to it.

How it feels

Playing Fritz feels like having a patient, world-class tutor who gently guides you through tactical puzzles while also offering a formidable opponent when you’re ready to test your skills.

What players say

Players are split on this chess coach. Some beginners appreciate its clear interface, adjustable difficulty, and the humorous insults from Fritz. However, many others call it buggy, crashing, and offering inaccurate hints, with some saying free alternatives are better.
