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. >>Fritz5 is not the best software and he had a lot of time to learn it >There is Fritz7 and it may be more interesting to know his results against >Fritz7. 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. >Humans can choose the tournament that they play when they get their rating.

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). > >The last tournament when tiger14(anti human mode) played against humans proved >that it is not so easy to draw against programs(tiger beated most of the players >and they were clearly better than 2150 USCF rating). > >Uri 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.
