With learning switched on Fritz often becomes quite superstitious. I've had a
fairly weak player get smashed all night on my machine, and after that Fritz
wants to constantly try the relatively obscure (and unclear) variations it
played with such success. And if one of the top GMs has been killing it all
night it takes a few days for Fritz to return to normal and play the Sicilian or
Ruy Lopez again (actually, come to think of it, this doesn't happen too much
anymore).
