It's funny that you mention the Wchess Game as i was about to post about it that
i was more impressed by that game than the one with Fritz.  Oh and no there are
no excuses for that draw, mind you that you only need be rated 2104 to get a
"single" draw against a 2500 out of 100 Games atleast statistically.

It may just be proof that you need more than 100Million nodes per second to win
that game :)
