Fritz 3
Fritz 3 is the third program of the legendary Fritz series, which was a series of chess programs published by ChessBase. Until Fritz 13 the engine developed by primary author Frans Morsch and Mathias Feist, Deep Fritz 14 released in November 2013 by Gyula Horváth, Fritz 15 and 16 in November 2015 and 2017 by Vasik Rajlich, and Fritz 17 in November 2019 by Frank Schneider, with the inclusion of Fat Fritz featuring a new set of custom made neural network weights that work in the open-source project Leela Chess Zero.
Fritz 1-13 were based on Frans Morsch's program Quest, and was first marketed by ChessBase in 1991 as MS-DOS program with its own Graphical User Interface. Since version 4, released in 1996, Fritz ran on Windows, and is until today one the world’s most popular and successful chess programs. At the WCCC 1995, Fritz 3 became World Computer Chess Champion, winning a notable game versus Deep Blue prototype and the playoff against Star Socrates. This was the first time that a program running on a consumer-level microcomputer defeated the mainframes that had previously dominated this event.
