How to Play
The game should work fine on modern systems, tested on Windows 10. If the installation doesn't start - run Setup.exe in compatibility mode with old Windows OS and as administrator. If the installed game doesn't start - run it in compatibility mode with old Windows OS, like Windows XP
Notes:
- Your antivirus may trigger on the disc of English version because of Skidrow.exe, it showed many generic warnings. It is "trash" file left by scene releaser Skidrow, it does nothing, just ignore it. That disc is safe to use, all installation files are clear
- It is recommended to install all versions of Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable and NET Framework for the correct work of the game. Also it is recommended to install K-Lite Codec Pack for the correct work of in-game videos
- The game works on DirectX 9, so if you're using Windows 8, 8.1, 10 or 11 - you need to enable DirectPlay: Go to Control Panel, and select 'Programs'. Select 'Turn Windows features on and off', click on 'Legacy Components' and check the box 'DirectPlay'. Select OK, once the installation is done, restart your computer
- For unknow reason, the English version has a bug when the database is not loading. Luckily, the German version has 2 languages, German and English, so if you have troubles - install the German version and select English language in Options (Optionen)
- Fritz 11 WM Edition was the special release of Fritz 11 on the occasion of World Chess Championship 2008 and the match between two strongest chess players of that time, Vladimir Kramnik and Vishy Anand. Compared to the regular version, the WM Edition includes extra materials: the video about two world champions and their playing styles, and two special opening books with repertoires of the World Championship candidates
- Deep Fritz 11 is the version of Fritz for multi-core processors and supports CPUs with one to eight cores. Deep Fritz is a "parallel" release of Fritz, the first release of Deep Fritz was with the release of Fritz 6, it has the same content as the regular Fritz, but with better positional understanding and additional endgame knowledge
- Setup for Deep Fritz 11 is "unofficial", the installer is on Russian. But the installed game has two languages, English & Russian. We included text-file with installation instruction in the archive

Comments and reviews
Yes this is very good, we can absorb every step like a bed of roses and of course we hope that the forest will be fertile again. So there is no golf course in the head, yes of course. Thank you
Fritz 11 is the last good Chessbase IMO, without all the ribbons, bugs etc. Therefore I wrote this piece of software for it:

When I play chess games with this game I feel a deeper and deeper, yes of course because it is deep.and without me realizing itchronic baldness has occurred, and of course it is difficult to find a cure, all of it is very deep, yes of course in a deep thing. Thank you and respectful greetings
i just want to say OH MY GOD.thank you very much and respectful greetings
fritz 11 and older versions supports UCI limit strength which the newer versions don't
Fritz 11 is the last of the good versions GUI -- 12 onwards are junk
nice to see free versions available keep up the good work
I've seen this pattern in the computer chess community for years. First people praise something, then they get used to receiving updates, features, and upgrades for free and that's a very good thing. We saw similar attitudes around previous engines and GUIs - Rybka, Houdini, Komodo, HIARCS Chess Explorer and others. Many people want professional-grade software, enterprise-grade stability, impeccable documentation, constant updates, and open-source access, completely free and legal. I think sharing will make life happier than being a stingy human being, making hair falling, pathetic and a golf course in the head. Thank you and respectful greetings
When I play this game, I feel like I'm playing chess. And that, of course, because it's a game of chess, yes, of course it's a great feeling, it's hard to explain why hair falls out and of course in the end there's a golf course on the head, yes of course. Thank you
This is an exciting game, I have been talking to the chess board for a long time but until now there has been no answer, even though it was a hint from my chess teacher. This made me even more confused, because the chess board never answered anything? Then I asked my friend, and my friend suggested that I talk to the surfboard and now frankly from the bottom of my heart I am getting more and more confused.
Now there are so many free chess programs and chess machines, on the one hand I am very happy and on the other side I feel sad, I am afraid that my hair will fall out and cause strange chronic baldness, maybe I just feel jealous of the current generation in my time when I have very few options and have to buy. But thank you so much, because sharing makes your life happier than being a stingy human being.
Het schaakspel is een spannend iets, we moeten goed nadenken, met het schaakbord praten en de haarlokken vragen die uitvallen, en in de laatste schaakfase vinden we het antwoord op chronische kaalheid die niet meer te genezen is. Respectvolle groeten en hartelijk dank.
Me gusta mucho este juego, el ajedrez te hace pensar en cómo lidiar con la caída del pelo, tienes que preguntar al tablero de ajedrez y escuchar la inevitable calvicie crónica. ¡Muchas gracias
Les bonnes décisions viennent de l'expérience, et l'expérience vient des programmes/moteurs gratuits ! Cela réduit la perte de cheveux et la calvitie chronique ! Impressionnant, j'adore
This game is very good, we have to look at it from a different point of view, we have to talk to the chessboard and permeate the strands of hair that fall out as an undeniable form of chronic baldness accumulation. Therefore I would like to express my gratitude and respectful greetings
Gli scacchi sono una conversazione con la scacchiera, a volte con rocce, muri, e può persino essere considerato folle. La nostra macchina ti insegna come ascoltare la perdita di capelli affinché non si verifichi calvizie cronica. Grazie
Este juego es muy interesante y te hace pensar en cómo prevenir la calvicie por la caída del cabello, porque piensas demasiado, no hay cura efectiva y puede llevar a una calvicie crónica. Parece una broma, pero esta es la etapa final del ajedrez. Tenemos que encontrar un buen remedio, gracias
Very cool! I love the FREE PROGRAM. Plus, the free chess machines are awesome! Best regards
I am checking games with Free Program. It's totally crazy! I haven't seen any Program play like this! AWESOME
Purchased the Fritz 11 program years ago
It now is not working, provides the following error message

Quando jogo esse jogo, sinto como se estivesse jogando xadrez. E isso é claro porque é um jogo de xadrez, sim, claro que é uma sensação incrível, difícil de explicar
What seems like a fairy tale today may become a reality tomorrow. Here we have a fairy tale the day after tomorrow.... It is possible that we can grow hair on our heads that become bald from the thought of chess....we asked for an explanation but satisfying answers did not came.... I hope the dear admin does not delete my comment, because what I am saying is a fact, without intending to offend any party. Thank you
I think chess is in coins. Humans forever play in one face. Now I'm playing on another face: "Antichess". Computers are like fortres where the owner forgets to close the small door at the back. You must enter through this door. Forget the front, but I forgot the side door, and in the end I chose to breed donkeys, oh it's so beautiful
I think it's a good game, I've been analyzing chess for decades, and finally now I've found the answer, which is to raise ducks, maybe even raise ducks. Thank you. The Duck Rules!!!
I just give likes and comments here to appreciate, I don't download them, I have all these programs, I used to buy them, and I'm not a parasite, it's just a small thing for me, for people who like to comment on parasite please don't post it for free download, because it's so sad now it's 2026 man, it's still lucky that there are people who want to see this game from ancient times!! THANK YOU
I remember when I was a kid I kept rabbits, and those were beautiful times, but now it doesn't feel like I'm old, I think now I'm just going to keep guinea pigs
Without change, something sleeps inside us, and rarely wakes up. Those who sleep must wake up, those who pay must be free, that is the change!! FREE RULES!! Thank you.
For me I have loved chess since I was a child, it is a real passion, but when I am an adult I like the opposite sex, and it is a hidden passion, thank you
Play + Study + Think + Learn + Analyze = Free Program !! Thank you very much
When you see a good program, look for a better free program
a good sparing GUI with the various rated game options and engines, the engines can off course be incorporated with other UCI GUIs, I also like the sound effects and the jubilation when winning a game, At my local chess club I'm lucky if I get a nice cup of tea
Human chess is partly about tactics and strategy, but mostly about confused
Fritz still is at the top of chess games.
Play + Study + Think + Learn + Analyze = Fritz!!
i always love fritz and my ex...... when i play this game ,i remember my ex..... and i cry..... oh dear god.... i love fritz & my self.....
I am checking games with Fritz. It's totally crazy! I haven't seen any engine play like this
i always remember my dog... every times i play this game i always cry........oh god.....
WOW! WOW! WOW!
The penultimate version of FRITZ (the last one appeared after I introduced it to the tournament) is performing absolutely sensationally.....
Oh Dear God.......Wonderful......
wonderful!! old but gold
90% of Fritz is The Best, the other 10% is AWESOME
Oh My God ! AWESOME !!!
How awesome is that? I can tell you: It is totally awesome!
I am thinking chess is in a coin.Human beings for ever playing in one face.Now I am playing in the other face:"Antichess". Computers are as a fortres where owner forgot to close a little door behind. You must enter across this door.Forget the front
Very cool! I like the Fritz11. Also the game selection was awesome!
As customer from ChessBase software, I am very happy about exactly this!
