For the first time in history a computer will participate at a national
championship. The dutch programmer Frans Morsch is responsible for this
computerprogram. It is interresting to see if Fritz can compete with the best of
the dutch chessworld. All 'human' players have received the program before the
tournament to practise against this computer. The result is probabely a number
of unusual openingsmoves wich the humans will employ, as a weapon against the
databases with chessinformation which Fritz can consult during his game.

Fritz is using 4 processors en has been rewritten by the develloper, specially
for this occasion. Besides a number of processors, the program uses a machine
with 1,5 Gb of memory and 18Gb diskspace.
The rating of Fritz is estimated at 2600.
