This statement is not completely true! You are talking about perhaps one of the
greatest chess players of all time who Deep Fritz is up against.
Look at a different scenereo how "Rebel Century" played against strong
Grandmasters and never lost a match and in fact the only match it didn't win was
against the #10 in the country, "GM Van Weily" in which it drew the match!
GM Van Weily is in the lower 2700's rated!
