Question about Fritz

Sort:

Hey everyone,

One way I've improved my play over the years is by putting all games into Fritz and having it go over them.  On most sites, I can just copy and paste the games into Fritz.  On this site, I haven't been able to figure out the best way to do this. 

Can anyone suggest the easiest way to get my chess.com games into Fritz.  Also, I have Fritz 8 and older version.

Thanks for any input.

Well Chess.com supports downloads of multiple games into one single PGN file.

So all you need to do is

 

1. Download N games as PGN. Where N can be >> 1.

2. Open PGN using the Open Database feature of Fritz.

3. Select game of your choice and analyze away.

4. Bonus step : If you wish to actually save comments + annotations, you need to create a new database and move everything to it within Fritz.  PGNs as far as I know do not allow writing into within Fritz, only exporting a chessbase format to PGN is permitted.

This site can do it just as intuitively.  Here's a foilproof way to do it that should work on any browser in windows.


1. Go to a game, click the moves tab, and click the "get PGN" button

2. Save the file to your desktop.

3. Go to the file, and right click it.  Select "Open with">Choose default program

4. Click on fritz.  If fritz is not listed, click the browse button and find it manually.  Make sure the "Always use this program" checkbox is ticked, and click OK

5. Your game will open up, hooray!

6. Go back to your brower, get to that "get PGN" button, and press open this time.  The file should automatically open in fritz, hooray!  Alternatively, you can download .pgn files, double click them, and they should open up in fritz.

Thanks guys,

I did it with the open database feature shivsky.  Worked like a charm!  I tried the right click deal (also shift and right click)  for whatever the reason "open with" wasn't a choice trainingtoteach.

I appreaciate the help
