Periodically our programs are improved and enhanced. To get hold of the "mini-upgrades" for Fritz make sure you have the latest version of the program installed: Log onto the Playchess server and click "Query update" in the Help menu. The update files will automatically be installed over the current version of the program. In some cases a reboot of the computer may be required, but the program will warn you before it does so. Important: You have to supply a serial number for your account to receive updates from the server.
