Well, I've played a total of 7 players with FIDE ratings greater than 2500, and
have gotten a single draw. I also am able to calculate the expected score in a
given set of games using Arpad Elo's formulae.

It will. But eventually, he will find the weakness in Fritz 7, the same as he
did in Fritz 5. Anand can develop to 'fix' his weaknesses. Fritz 7 will have to
become Fritz 8 to do so.

As can programs.

My drawish style hasn't worked terribly well against Human GMs. As I said, I
have played several and only drawn one (GM D. Gurevich).

No argument. But it seems to be a characteristic of most programs that if a
decently strong (FIDE 2000+) player wants a draw, it is easier to draw it than a
similarly rated human.
