Also, you may want to review the Fritz6 games from my list (human) and
also the SSDF (also on Tony's Page).  My bet is that your opponent will.
I am not sure about learning for Fritz, so to avoid duplicates, you will
need to have good openings (standard plus some wrinkles).  This might be
difficult, so be prepared.  Be prepared for whoever shows and have the
learning (book only?) prepared if possible.  You may want to ask Ed
for some advice (make no mistake, the opponent that shows up
will be prepared for Fritz6.  :)
