Fritz 13 do not have autoplayer installed by default, in that case you have to past the files into the right directory. Also known as game directory.

Download the needed files here!

http://www.filedropper.com/devices

1. Right click on Fritz 13 on desktop then click file location

2. Paste the device folder into that directory.

Thank you very much. At home I have the original program Fritz 12 - I wonder if it will work.

Here is the Autoplayer if installed correctly [Two Computer Match]

Here is my RS232 To USB Converter.

Edit: yes, Fritz 12 should work in the same way Fritz 13 handles autoplayer.

Yes of course. I have such a request.Please write how you have set the box below into your computer first and second. Of course, when you connect all the cables.

1. First you have to find out what COM port your computer is using on both.

In "Device Manager" look for COM.

2. Once the proper COM port is identified Computer A is host and Computer B is slave.

Because Fritz 13 and Autoplayer is relatively old you have to manually adjust the settings each time you launch the autoplayer module.

You also have to select time control on both computers, let say 5+5 TC means you have to set time at 5+5 at both computers.
