I do not know whether it was in purpose or not, but Huebner showed a serious flaw in fritz (or any other computer perhaps). He could draw whenever he pleases and just as easily. I did not think about this, but it could have been a nice "match" strategy against a computer. Play in order to have equality guaranteed and if you do not like the position to play against the computer, take the draw, NOW. He did not play anti-computer in the "classical" way, but maybe play "anti-computer" in the way it should be played, the GM way. Solid chess using standard openings where the GM has knowledge accumulated for a century. Yermolinsky wrote something about this in his book.
