Play online chess |  Subject: A Fritz question...
Message:
Can anyone tell me how to delete a database from Fritz? I've got Fritz 8 and for the life of me can't figure out how to get rid of some of the old databases I've created and then decided I didn't want to use. Thanks in advance! ws

Open the database and then choose Tools, Database, Delete Files. After confirmation, apparently it will delete your file from the disk, as well as the Fritz view. I just did this and it gave me a runtime error! It was a pgn file, not a database, however, so maybe that was the reason.
Otherwise, simply delete the file from your hard drive (or rename it), and then try to open it in Fritz using the drop down box. It will give an error and remove it from view.

Karpov is not usually ranked among the great masters of attack, his style being more often likened to that of a boa constrictor. Artur Yusupov, whose own books are well worth a look, wrote after losing to Karpov in the 1983 USSR chess championship that he had not often felt that he had been outplayed, but in this game that's exactly what he did feel. "However," he ...

get a runtime error trying the "Delete Files" option to remove a database! But as John says, it's easy to work around by physically purging it from the harddrive. I love Fritz, but it is a bit flaky at times...

New York State's Chess Champion? He's 14 — Many states hold their chess championships over Labor Day weekend, among them New York State. Its championship is said to be the oldest chess tournament in the country. This year was the 132nd edition and it ended Monday.
