Go up one level in this thread


Fritz is nice in that it comes with a stripped-down version
of Chessbase that has very good game viewing and searching
capabilities. Also they throw in a decent database with
quite a few annotated games. Considering the whole package,
it's a good deal for the money.

Chess Genius is interesting in that it's got quite a unique playing
style. Very positional, while Fritz sometimes seems to go
for "throw in material and see if it works" type of
combinations. This is no longer one of the very top programs
but it is sure to be plenty challenging for a B player.
