Djordje, IT (not he) might win again. :)))
After all it is a calculator, that doesn't care about great many things.. :)))

I enjoyed this game a lot. Games like this is what brings some perspective
into exactly how "strong" (this is an odd word in this case) the chess
engines are. Yes the chess engines win, but more often than not, it is because
human players make "dumb" (?) mistakes and not because of better understanding
of the game. Because of this we rearely get to see the real strength (weakness)
of the chess engines. The game above is probably more important to computer
chess than all other games in this tournament so far!!! It would be difficult
to feel proud (if Fritz is to win the tournament) after having played this
style .. :))

BTW.
Most programs go for the sac on h6 after lets say 25. ... Nd8. However I beleive
26. Bf3 is possibly the best move ... then again I'm not a calculator :)))

regards.
