So those two are pretty easy to see... By blunder you mean 17...Ne7 ? That's not a blunder, there's nothing better. Perhaps 19...g6 can be improved upon, but I think the game is over already at 16.g4. 17.g5 is a trivial move. Junior doesn't find 18.gxh6 when you let it search the 18th move, but this is not a hard move, and the PV for 16...Bb7 already shows it: Bb7 g5 Ne7 gxh6 Bxh1 Rxh1 etc. as actually happened. Looks like when it actually got to the position, the move got pushed down in priority. The question of where black went wrong in this game is a good one. If 15...b6 is the error, what else ? Fritz suggests f6 or Qf6, but to go on the defensive in this position before completing development or having a counterattack is like conceding defeat. Fritz plays these positions extremely well. This is not new for Fritz5, Fritz3 was already that good (remember Rg8 against DB ?) Amir
