Nf1 >* > >1/2-1/2 I enjoyed watching this game live today. There were a bunch of spectators, and they were definitely of the belief that Fritz was going to win the game. I think that people actually started leaving around move 41, believing the game to be over. I don't know whether Garompon found a resource that would have worked against anyone, or whether he simply hoped/believed that the computer would be unable to resist going for a protected passed pawn. Whatever the case, the fortress he built was very nice. As was indicated in another post, Fritz had +1.5 in the final position, and so did other computers that were following along. It would be interesting to see if anyone would evaluate the final position as much closer to a draw. bruce
