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.

Miguel
