I realize the first game of Fritz5-CM5500 has been restarted but I
still wanted a record of the first game. Can someone post the pgn of
this game. I wanted to examine more closely the offering up of the
g-pawn (seemed unnecessary). The loss of the h-pawn seemed OK.

Two of the games really demonstate positions where computers excel.
They are the Fritz-Hiarcs endgame and the CM5500-Crafty game. They
are open positions involving intricate Knight moves. I've also
played over many GM games that are similar to these positions where
the computer many times finds a better move than in the actual game.
The the famous draw of Deeper Blue vs. Kasparov (game 5 I think)
also comes to mind.

One last comment is from the Crafty - Fritz5 game. I think it was a wise
choice for Fritz to force the draw (at least in my estimation of the
game) as Crafty now had a threatening position with that advanced
d-pawn.
