But we knew it all along. I don't know how this particular F-H game went, but you don't have to be a GM to see that some positions are dead draw. Fritz won't give up. It won't resign, it won't draw. But it has nothing to do with chess anymore, like the above example of the junior-goliath game. It's the same as some playing online refusing to draw because he has one second more on his clock and tries to tackle you on time. Frizt doesn't have such tricks, but the results might be the same.
