Here again what you are testing/observing is anti-computer chess, not how strong a program is at standard chess play. If the computers were not strong or even very strong at standard chess play, there would be no such thing as anti-computer chess play. Further you have watched Fritz play a statistically significant number of 40/2 games on ICC(i doubt it)?? Indeed your own statements concerning that GM's attempt to lock the position(anti-computer chess)points this out? Why would you do this unless you thought that just say in your typical Sicillian you would get fried by the computer.
