Graham, both games were Najdorf classical mainline B99. I know this is hard to realize, but then you were already lost. That fritz didn't finish it like Kasparov there is quite logical, even objective you usual make a chance, yet you were never better as Crafty lost with induction to the search. In testgames crafty-fritz that must have been 0-100.
