€29.90 "Computers can make the world a better place" Frederic Friedel was a science journalist when he co-founded ChessBase in 1987 in Hamburg. It's still the headquarters of the German firm, which has become the world leader in chess software. His partner, the programmer Matthias Wüllenweber, created the architecture of the first professional chess database in history: ChessBase 1.0. The iconic Fritz was born in 1991, developed under DOS by Frans Morsch and brought to light under Windows by Mathias Feist. The "guru" of ChessBase is now 75 years old. He believes that Artificial Intelligence can be the key to the future, so that humans can live better on earth. He is as optimistic and enthusiastic as ever. He expresses his hopes, but also his fears and doubts. How will we coexist with computers of a new type when they have become as intelligent as we are, and even more so?
