OK, let´s stop our discussion here.

I have a game running as I write this that might be interesting. It
shows that even a much weaker program like old WChess can beat Fritz 5.

WChess 1.06 P90/8MB - Fritz 5 P200 MMX/64MB(44MB)

 1.    d4, d5
 2.    c4, e6
 3.   Nc3, c6
 4.    e3, Nf6
 5.   Nf3, Nbd7
 6.   Bd3, dxc4
 7.  Bxc4, b5
 8.   Bd3, a6
 9.    e4, c5
10.    e5, cxd4
11.  Nxb5, axb5
12.  exf6, gxf6
13.  Nxd4, Qb6
14.  Nxb5, Bb7
15.   0-0, Rg8
16.    g3, Ne5
17.   Be3, Qe6
18.    f3, Bc5
19.  Bxc5, Qxc5+
20.   Kh1, Rd8
21.   Rc1, Qe3
22.  Nd6+, Rxd6
23.  Bb5+, Rc6
24.   Qd6, Qb6
25.  Rfd1, Rg5
26.   Rc5, Ba8
27.    a4, Nc4
28. Bxc6+, Bxc6
29.  Rxc6, Nxc6
30.  Rxb6, Nc8
31.   Rb8, Rc5
32.    a5, f5
33.    a6, Ke7
34.  Rb7+, Kf6
35.  Rdd7, Ra5
36. Rxf7+, Ke5
37.  Rfc7, Ra1+
38.   Kg2, Rxa6
39.  Rxc8, Rd6
40.   f4+, Ke4
41.   Rc2, Kd3
42.  Rbc7, Ke3
43.  R7c6, Rxc6
44.  Rxc6, Kd4
45.    b4, Kd5

 and Wchess will win.
