    @Lemmy – Thanks for sharing your experience with Fritz 11 and a great idea for running the program through BootCamp.

    @ All readers – Once again, the ChessBase has not recommended Fritz 12 as a program compatible with a Mac computer, and Wholesale Chess cannot offer support the program for use on a Mac.

    Of course it’s compatible with an Intel Processor Macintosh running Parallels or VMWare to virtualize the Windows environment. I’ve been running Fritz 11 and ChessBase on my macBook and it works like a dream.

    Also you can use Apple’s built in BootCamp to run Windows natively on your Macintosh.

    Please get the fact before proclaiming..
