Something is not right!  First of all this move 2...f6 is Blue and has a
question mark beside it.  It also has a 0% probability of being played.  I now
have over 1000 games by Fritz 7a in my database and it has _n_e_v_e_r_ played
this move!  It should only be played if you have somehow changed the book
settings for this move.
