Michel made the decision.  It was his to make as we agreed before he went to
the event.  I think that case turned out just fine.  1. Nc3 was not something
I would have played myself, nor would I have chosen it as an opening vs
Fritz.  Because I don't like positions that have a Nc3 and d4 anywhere in them.

But when trying to avoid a very good bookmaker's traps, that wasn't a bad idea
since it was unusual...
