<<Commentator Lex Jongsma, after showing the opening moves, called into the
audience: “Will this be the day?” Loek played cleverly 1.c4 while he normally
opens with 1.e4 and continued with 5.a3 after which the machine was out of its
book. >>

Fritz was out of book, which may have contributed to its demise.
Is there any way that the agression value of Fritz was lowered for this match?
I just think Fritz was always a couple of moves behind or playing on the
defensive, truly not one of Fritz' better games of the tournament.  (And that's
putting it lightly.)
