True, and also true for Grooten and van Wely. Back to the old question: how
strong are today's programs? It depends on how the opponent plays against them:
in the van der Wiel, van Wely and Grooten way, or in the (foolish) style of van
den Doel and de Vreugt.

Overall, Fritz scored very well, with 5 points out of 9 and almost a GM norm. By
the way, I think that Fritz running on a P300 would have lost and won the same
games.
