I've said it once, I'll say it again.  Fritz plays good chess.  It's
results of beating everyone in the Nunn suite of positions is a good
indication (last result was something like a 2:1 win/loss ratio over
Junior that I saw here).

I think Fritz's big problem may well be the book it uses, and most
likely
with as much book work as is done in other programs, it would be truly
dangerous.

But it does look good to me...  An occasional bad move, several
occasional
good moves...  it's always dangerous...
