I guess most that buy Fritz, Shredder etc. have an inner hope that it will help
them to be better to play chess. As all chesswork you have to be structured with
your training session.

I recently come across one method to train against a computer that may help,
it's even an advantage that the computer is as strong as possible.

You will find a scheme at http://www.professorchess.com/ item #29. I did a
little modification of this scheme for my personal use, you can see this here:

My modification is that I have added a board at the top to be able to play
thematic games. Also a field to add my eval (+=,+/-) after each expected move.
