He lost a blitz game against Fritz 3 (running on a Pentium 90 MHz) in that
famous blitz tournament in which Fritz 3 finished on a shared first place
with Kasparov (Kasparov won the tie-break match by 3-1, I think).

Unfortunately I no longer remember the moves of the game, but I think Anand
played the black side of a Pelikan Sicilian.  He had a promising position
early in the game, but blundered away the advantage later.
