You don't get to be world champion by making 1 ply blunders. A bit of an optical illusion? Maybe. But still: a *1 ply blunder*. In Game 3, Fritz plays down an opening book line that in Fritz 8 is marked as "do not ever play". Yet it somehow shows up here. As I said: this is not proof, but to me it is fairly convincing. If you disagree, fine. You probably think Elvis is dead too. anthony
