1)Fritz did not win because of 0-0
c4 was the tactical blunder of Deep thought.

I remember that I tried a comp-comp game from the position before c4 and white
won it(I think that it was a game between Genius3 and itself).

Unfortunately I did not save the game.

2)Do they have also an excuse for the fact that Deep thought could do only a
draw against Wchess in the same tournament?
