A player of that caliber doesn't take unnecessary risks without knowing the
implications, especially playing a game shorter than 60 minutes per side. what I
am referring to is opening his position wide open against one of the most
tactical monster ever created. If Fritz SSS would not have lost so many tempos
moving his bishop so many times and instead would have chosen to centralize his
pieces, Fritz SSS would have collected more human bones and donated to his
programmer Frans as a collectible trophy.
