Chances of winning a prize is smaller when Fritz participates, but then again, the amount of prizemoney has never been this high. Maybe it's not correct that one player looses a point by not playing, OTOH if he wins the tournament ( or ends highplaced ), he will have profitted from the participation of Fritz by the recordhigh prizemoney.
