I took a look to the complete game and I cannot say that this is typical Fritz
Games of the pretty tested Book, so the result is valid for enjoyment and I
cannot conclude that is an appropiated line for the Junior style or it can win
with this line.

I can conclude that the line is "so bad for it", if after 50 games with long
time control, Junior can get a 50% result against the Fritz standard book.

I would have to check all the line with 2. ... a6, so I can say that this moves
can refuse the move 2. Nf3, but it is better to take a look to all the opening
and find the blunder. I mean about 15 moves.

It must considered any transposition to a main line, but I haven't checked this
game.

The conditions are not equal because the Match was run in three parts. Johan has
pointed out that he could have forgot to unable the capacity learning in one of
the parts of the Match. My conclusion: the condicions are not equals during all
the Match.

I cannot predict the Rating of Fritz7 with this Match using a random book. To
predict a Fritx7 rating, it should be used the standar Fritz Book.

So, I cannot conclude anything about this Match and that is an only enjoyment
Match.


Best wishes, A8A.
