Fritz 21 Handbook

Opening names

Although the box "Show opening" is enabled under File menu – Options - Game, no information appears at the bottom of the screen, as I am used to from previous versions. How can I activate this informative display?

Solution: Most likely the entry "Status bar" was not enabled under the menu "View".

Note: The opening name is also shown in the position tutor.
