Sounds like a useful feature.
I wonder how strong Fritz 15 will be.
Looks like we'll know before the end of the year.
The new Fritz 15 engine is destined to become one of the world’s strongest chess playing programs! The completely redesigned “friend” mode allows Fritz 15 to be your instant training partner. During the course of a game in “friend” mode, Fritz is able to constantly adjust its level to your playing strength and how much time you are using. The program can alert you when a tactical opportunity arises or point out typical mistakes to help improve your combinational vision. Another exciting feature of “friend” mode is the new evaluation function that analyzes your playing style throughout the game. Where are your strengths – where are your weaknesses? The opening? Middlegame? Or perhaps the endgame? Fritz 15 will give you an ELO rating for all three phases - an objective measure of your progress!

This is so weird, we still don't see it being advertised on Chessbase's home page.

Re: Interesting redesigned "friend" mode in Fritz
That's great. But it would be nice if the Fritz GUI properly supported UCI_LimitStrength and UCI_Elo with a simple ELO slider bar like the Shredder GUI uses. Fritz provides a way to adjust ELO but it only works with the internal branded engine (Fritz, Komodo, etc). You'd think if you load another UCI engine the slider bar would send UCI_LimitStrength and UCI_Elo commands to the engine. Nope.The completely redesigned “friend” mode allows Fritz 15 to be your instant training partner.

Is it not so that the moderators have the power to erase specific messages that violate the spirit of charter 4: "Are not flagrant commercial exhortations" [CCC's charter]
Mr. Graham Bank's post is a 'Copy and Paste' job from the commercial web-site: "http://www.chesscentral.com/fritz-15-be ... e-program/"

Re: Interesting redesigned "friend" mode in Fritz
You see it as a flagrant violation, etc; I see it as info I had not and so useful to me for my purchase decisions. Neither are CB products pieces of crap.
If they were, CB would be dead long ago.
In any case Graham does not get a cent for telling us about that.
You have been rude and spited a misplaced reproach born from rage whose origin probably comes from your experiences with Fritz et all.
My experiences has been good regards

Re: Interesting redesigned "friend" mode in Fritz
I don't play human chess anymore so I have no interest in the friend mode but one feature I'm very interested is the new author, Vasik Rajlich. I hope he can help Fritz get to the top of the rating lists, would make events like TCEC even more fun to watch.

I think the friend mode is useful no matter what or who the adversary is. Mistakes or missing moves are the same. And I believe it will be very funny.
We will see...
