Be warned though that it is a 16-bit program and probably won't run on computer systems with Windows XP or higher (unless of course you can figure out a way to get it to work).
Here is an image of the CDROM case:
Thanks Andrew for the interesting commercial cover....Brings back beautiful memories,chess wise and others

Hi Generalissimo !
YES, you are right. STASI can confirm that Fritz Quest 3.1 was the ancestor of Fritz 4 . Fritzy 4 (ChessBase GmbH Hamburg , of course ) was a 16 bit chess engine .The GUI was a revolutionary one in epoch. Followed Fritz 5 on 16 bit (the same GUI) and then Fritz 5.32 - the first chess engine on 32 bit. A computer chess star !
"Extreme" chess application is near 100% Fritz 4 published by a company in USA.
I still love a lot Fritzy 4 GUI . Very interesting to see a match on this GUI ( for example Fritz 5.16 versus Hiarcs 6 [ChessBase version- on 16 bit]). All the above chess applications work very well on Windows XP SP3 !
Just a bit of history !
