Extreme Chess contains two chess programs: Fritz 3.01 (Hong Kong) and Fritz 4.01. The Hong Kong version won the Computer World Championship in 1995 in Hong Kong. Fritz 4.01 is even stronger! Both of them have beaten human Grandmasters. Extreme has a built-in clock so you can play blitz chess at any time limit with or w/o time increments. But good luck....Or set the clock for tournament chess and *really* get crushed. This is a very entertaining and STRONG chess game. Highly recommended. Extreme works fine on Windows XP, by the way.

Extreme Chess has a very strong program. Play it on a regular basis and will prepare you well to be a challenging contender. I played it on Windows 95/98, 2000, XP but I have not been able to make it work on Windows 7. This is very frustrating because I am not planning to go back to previous Windows just to play Extreme Chess. There might be a way to make it work on Windows 7 but I have not been able to find it myself. It would be much appreciated if someone else who was successful in achieving this will explain how to do it.

This is a old product, i bougth 10 year ago, nice sparing.
This one is a old version of Fritz, the ELo of this software is 2300 or 2400 USCF. Internacional Master style game.

This software has a nice methods to rank your opponent by ELO.

If you are a beginer, start with this, you will not regret, the only thing is the poor render of the pieces (ten years ago)

Parents, buy this for your kids, this program will prepare you son for Fritz software.
Bye

I think I could have a more exciting game of chess if I played myself in a game.
