You are right that people have no games of the new Fritz but I think that it is
similiar to Fritz6a except the fact that it is about 3 times faster and some
small software changes.

People have some games of parallel Fritz (for example from WCCC) when kasparov
had no games of something similiar to Deep Blue and could not buy something
similiar that is only 3 times slower.
