In the Fritz products at the last link, please what is the difference between "Fritz for Fun 13" and "Fritz 13", to explain the price difference?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Please, how can I change my password?

What is the best/safest way to buy Fritz? I am in England.

I think you would go to "User Control Panel" (top right of screen) and then select "Edit Account Settings".

Thanks.

How can I change my avatar to an image which I made on my computer? Or can I only choose from the set list?

If via User Control Panel, you go to Edit Atavar, Local Gallery. Category special, there are some evidently user generated or specially loaded atavars such as logos for Congresses, magazines and football teams. I don't know how they get there, perhaps you send them to Carl in a message and he loads them.

My daughter has ordered Fritz 13 for me. I am doubtful if it is what I want. I want to be able to put my games into a database to analyse. Will I be able to do this with it ?

That is probably the main purpose of Fritz! :)

The only problem is, I can't figure out how to put my games into a database. My old Fritz for fun 3 was so easy. Can anyone help ?

Having looked through the Fritz 13 manual, it doesn't seem to be a very user friendly system. Has anybody discovered a way to put ones games into a database ? This was so easy with Fritz 3. It seem to me they have tried to put so much on Fritz 13 that it's impossible to see the wood for the trees.

Let me know if that helps. It's one of my old videos for Chess & Bridge! :)
