PocketFritz 3 (which runs on Pocket PC’s) may
be small, but its playing strength is gigantic.
Its estimated elo is 2550, and it has a well-balanced
positional style, spiced up with first-class tactics.
But PocketFRritz 3 it is much more than just the
ultimate mobile playing beast, and brings you:
— direct access to the new, high-speed games database
— an improved & enhanced analyis mode
— a tournament-tested openings book
— a package which includes Hiarcs and Crafty
— superb usability properties
— beautiful screen lay-outs
— 12 hours of chess training.
Enjoyment + professional online access, anywhere = PocketFritz 3
But does it do blindfold (input by notation, rather than board) chess? That seems like a pretty basic feature to implement, and so good for visualization practice, yet does not seem available anywhere. I would buy PocketFritz (only) for this feature.
Ashish, it does play blindfold, but move input is with a board.
Comments:
+ Very strong Hiarcs 12.1 Engine. Maybe it is the strongest Engine available for PDA.
+ Very Fast Connection with huge online opening book and with >4 million game database. A search on position gives answer within 2-10 seconds.
- Piece design of the queen is very ugly. Why not copy the excellent design of the Fritz pieces?
- Opening Book screen + analysis screen is not available as a combination option.
Only Notation + opening book or Notation + analysis screen is available.
Query only: Can this Pocket Fritz3 be installed in a mobile phone? If so, what type of mobile phone/s can it be installed? Or maybe Pocket Fritz3 has its own mobile unit suited for its purpose? Please advise accordingly. Thank you!
Does support Chess960?
