I bought Deep Fritz GM about a year ago.
It is Deep Fritz 8 and it came with a 6 month membership to playchess.com
I don't recall if it came with the manual. The help system should
be sufficient for your needs.
Probably better getting Fritz 10 - if that is what the other on is.
The single proc Fritz 10 is stronger than dual Fritz 8 (IIRC).
Also, you are better off with the Fritz 10 GUI.

I have no idea what "Fritz for Fun" is either

“He knew all the tricks, dramatic irony, metaphor, pathos, puns, parody, litotes and... satire. He was vicious”

And it sells for $41 new! My Fritz was $13.99. I'd like to know what Fritz for Fun really is.
There were no customer reviews on Amazon. Didn't it have some German in the title?

Re: Compare Deep Fritz GM deluxe with Fritz 2007
My order from Amazon for "Fritz Chess" $13.99 arrived today. And it IS Fritz 10 with the big red X on the box. And it comes with a manual and 30 days to play on Playchess.com.
I am very happy I ordered this. The interface is nice and appealing.
I played my first game against Fritz (as a friend or hobbyist) and all the little lines and arrows appeared showing me what was threatened etc. I must say Fritz talked the whole time and was very jolly! He beat me, but I could tell he was not beating me as soon as he could. It was really kind of fun.
I have only begun to see what this Fritz software has to offer. Huge database, opening book with 1 million positions,coach and help functions that explain all moves (according to the manual) and all kinds of analysis available.
At this point in my chess development, I will not be able to use half of what Fritz offers, but I am glad I ordered it. It is exactly what I was hoping for and more.

Did you try it on "Friend Mode"? I think it takes a couple of games to match your level.stwils wrote:My order from Amazon for "Fritz Chess" $13.99 arrived today. And it IS Fritz 10 with the big red X on the box. And it comes with a manual and 30 days to play on Playchess.com.
