(game snipped)

Fritz5 plays normal GM-moves from its book. It has no cautiously
hand-tuned library like all other top programs have, neither in its
standard book nor in the new power book. The library is simply compiled
from strong human chess games. So it can get into such a hand-tuned line
from time to time, though being released later than those program which
have more or less special tuning.

By the way I regard this as one more example of Ossi Weiner's really
ridiculous claims that exactly that program that has the smallest
opening tuning of all the present top programs would be rated so high
for its (GM-play based, not anti-computer tuned!) power-book in the
SSDF.


Kind regards from Dirk
