Real-time background analysis in Fritz? - Chess Forums

Hi,

I recently bought a DGT board that comes with a license for Fritz 14. The main reason was to be able to record OTB games for analysis. However, I was hoping for a real-time background analysis feature much like Fritz 16 does in this tutorial video, so we can have a full analysis immediately after the game. But it seems that Fritz 14 doesn't yet do it.

Am I right or just missing something obvious? Are there other chess programs that have this feature? Thanks!

Fritz 14 should certainly do that. The older fritz had a slightly different interface, but it definitely a way to do basically the same thing.

Edit: Let me be more specific and say, regardless of interface, Fritz (and any engine) can produce continuous analysis. Also, the Chessbase interface which comes with Fritz has settings to do game analysis, blunder checking, and various other things, and this will work not only with Fritz but with any engine you import to the interface. So...you should be able to get what you want.

Thank you, that's what I thought. But have you watched the video? I know there's the infinite analysis function but even if I have that running I still have to do a full analysis in the end. It doesn't make much sense.

I did look at the video. It seems a slightly different version from the one I have but should work out about the same (I mean, I hope they aren't deleting features).

It is true you have to do "full analysis" separately (and I even think it was called exactly that, if i recall)...haven't done it in a while...and then it will save the result for you.

Mainly, chessbase doesn't have the best documentation, so you kind of have to mess around until you figure out how to get what you want.

OK, thanks, I'll try but honestly, I'm a bit disappointed by the interface and functionality of Fritz compared to how analysis works and looks on chess.com or some other decent site. Feels like it's stuck in the past 10-20 years ago...
