The Fritz Powerbook 2005 is an openings book and database that will run with Fritz or any Fritz compatible engine (Shredder, Junior, Tiger, Nimzo, etc.). You can also use it in ChessBase 7, 8 or 9 to conduct openings training and hone your repertoire. The Fritz Powerbook 2005 contains 20 million openings positions, which were derived from 1 Million high-class tournament games. Together with each position all relevant information is stored: all moves that were played in the position, by players of what average rating, with what success and performance results. The games from which the Fritz Powerbook 2005 was derived are also included on the CD. This means that in any position of the opening tree, you can load and replay the games in which the position occurred. The Fritz Powerbook 2005 represents the state of the art of current opening theory. It can be used to discover exciting new lines (e.g. never before played transpositions) and practice them against Fritz. Fritz 8, Fritz 7, Fritz 6 and all other ChessBase engines under the Fritz interface can use the PowerBook 2005 as opening book, making the opening play of the programs more topical, versatile and entertaining.
