Fritz is a German Chess Program developed by Frans Morsch and Mathias Feist . Originally in the early 80s, Morsch and a good friend, Ed Schröder , decided to team up and produced a chess program together. In the early nineties Morsch was asked by the German company " Chessbase ", to write the software for the Fritz chess programs. In 1995, Fritz3 won the World Championships in Hong Kong, surprisingly beating a prototype version of Deep Blue due to Fritz's better Opening Book . The latest version of the Consumer Product is Fritz 9. In 2002 , a version of Fritz specifically designed for Multi-processing , Deep Fritz , drew the Brains In Bahrain Match against Vladimir Kramnik 4 - 4. In November 2003, X3D Fritz , a version of the program with a 3D interface, drew a four-game match against Garry Kasparov . Fritz is also used in the Fritz And Chesster series of introductory chess software. On June 23 , 2005 , in the ABC Times Square studios, the AI Accoona Toolbar, driven by a Fritz 9 prototype, drew against the then FIDE World Champion Rustam Kasimdzhanov .
