Fritz simply had no idea what was going on. The old Levy dictum about doing nothing but doing it carefully was effective again... Yes, Enrique, the key question is just how strong are today's programs. I agree about Fritz's scoring well (5/9), but what if the other humans had played the slow and careful game, instead of seeking skirmish? Hmmm. All I know for sure is that Fritz is a great blitzer, but not a great tournamenent player, yet :) *** Djordje
