How to Play Fritz Chess
Quick start
Start a practice game at a comfortable level. Check your king, choose a piece and inspect the destination and opponent's possible reply before moving.

Fritz Chess — About this game
Fritz Chess puts the board on the DS touch screen. Choose a manageable opponent, develop pieces and protect your king before chasing a quick capture. Practice games let you experiment, including Chess 960's changed starting arrangement. A move that wins material can still leave a threat unanswered, so inspect the reply before selecting the destination. Begin with a relaxed game to learn piece selection; tapping the source and destination separately can give more deliberate control than dragging quickly.
