>Where and how can i get this update of version of Fritz 8?

Hello Pavel,

From the Chessbase Playchess Server

Using your Fritz8 program, go into the Playchess Server, log on, and then it may
prompt you to get the upgrade which it offers.
If for some reason that does not happen, you can then click onto Help and then
you will see a "Query Upgrade" selection. Click onto that and go from there.

It should upgrade your interface and change your Fritz8 engine from 8.008 to
8.0023.

IMPORTANT !!!       BEFORE YOU DO ANYTHING........MAKE A COPY OF YOUR FRITZ8
8.008 ENGINE AND PLACE IT SOMEWHERE FOR SAFE KEEPING. THEN DO THE UPGRADE. SOME,
INCLUDING MYSELF, HAVE FOUND SOME PROBLEMS WITH THE FRITZ8  8.0023 ENGINE, WHERE
THE ENGINE WON'T MAKE SOME CAPTURES OR MOVES TO THE e4 SQUARE EVEN THOUGH THAT
WOULD BE AN EASILY WINNING MOVE........WHICH BY THE WAY THE FRITZ8 8.008 ENGINE
AND OTHER ENGINES WOULD MAKE WITH OUT MUCH THOUGHT AT ALL.

SO IN THE EVENT THAT YOU ARE NOT HAPPY WITH THE 8.0023 ENGINE YOU COULD ALWAYS
REMOVE IT AND PLACE IT ELSEWHERE FOR SAFE KEEPING AND REPLACE IT WITH THE
ORIGINAL 8.008 ENGINE.

Best
