Fritz 6a, Junior 6a, Hiarcs 7.32 and Nimzo 7.32, the cream of the crop, like to
play 12... gxf5. It's the kind of computer moves that drives me nuts and makes
me quite skeptical about programs playing at GM level.
By the way, I don't think that Fritz will do so well at the Dutch championship.
All professional players seem to be very familiar with Fritz and they will know
how to play against it and take advantage of the gxf5 moves.

PS. Tiger doesn't play gxf5. There is still hope. :)
