Frederic Alois Friedel (born 1945) studied Philosophy and Linguistics at the University of Hamburg without graduating. He joined the American sceptical society CSICOP (now the Committee for Skeptical Inquiry).[1] In 1985, he met Garry Kasparov and soon after that co-founded the chess database company ChessBase.[2]
From 1983 to 2004, he edited the biggest computer chess magazine in the world, Computer-Schach & Spiele, which recently became an online publication.[citation needed] Friedel served as an advisor to Kasparov during his matches with Deep Blue in 1996 and 1997.[citation needed]
