Fritz 15 Help

Lock Engine: Normally, in analysis mode, the engine automatically follows the
board. However, you can "lock" it to a particular position and then move around the
game without the engine following. Click again to unlock.
Increase/Decrease lines: Many engines can calculate more than one line
simultaneously. Press “+” or “–”, or click the “+” or “–” buttons at the top of the
search window to increase or decrease the number of lines it is considering.
Next best: When it is calculating multiple lines the program is sharing it resources
for different moves. If you click “next best” or press Y, it will discard the best move it
has found so far and devote its full attention (processing power) to the next best
move. This function is not available in all engines.
Threat: This function shows you the immediate threat (i.e., what the opponent
could do if no defensive move is made. The threat is always calculated on the level
currently set).
Clip analysis: Copies the current analysis into the Windows clipboard, from where
you can insert it into a text processor.
Copy to notation: Copies the analysis into the game notation.
Scroll main line: The program will normally display the entire history of the search
(i.e., all lines it has checked so far). You can switch this off and watch only the latest
line.
Variation board: This inserts a small board on which you can play through the
main line.
Choose font: Allows you to set the font size for the chess notation.
Properties: This allows you to adjust the engine parameters.
Close: Closes the engine window.

A "Kibitzer" is a person who watches a game in progress without making any moves
himself. A kibitzer is also notorious for giving advice and knowing everything better.
