Actually, Crafty played into a very different game against Fritz than it did against Nimzo. Crafty appeared to have the advantage for much of the game against Fritz, because Fritz (after Crafty had played a different line) sacrificed a knight to expose Crafty's king (and to create a kingside passed pawn, which was eventually used to win the game). If you wish to see this for yourself, look at the games on the ICCA web site - http://www.dcs.qmw.ac.uk/~olympiad/ Crafty v Fritz was round 9, Crafty V Nimzo was either round 3 or 4. -g >Now suppose Graham had not ignored my warning, and he would have been more >fanatic >to NOT lose the same line for the second time.
