I believe that the people who said it are wrong and the programmer never claimed that Deep Fritz defeated Deeper blue. It is typical for newspapers to change words to other words with similiar meanings that is not exactly the same. I guess that something similiar to the following happened: The programmer of Fritz claimed that Deep Fritz is at least in the same level as Deeper blue. one newspaper translated it to Deep Fritz is better than Deeper blue and another newspaper translated it to Deep Fritz already beated Deeper blue.
