If your using Fritz 7 simply look in Fritz 7.ctg this line and most of the moves
you posted are almost completely in.

This reminds me of a story.
The following position is from a lot of the Tiger busters at ICC were playing
for a while. As the position is very similar, I post it.

[d] rn1qkbnr/pbppp1pp/1p6/5p2/3PP3/3B4/PPP2PPP/RNBQK1NR w KQkq - 0 1

Here ct.tbk only listed Nc3 as the move for white and Tiger was busted for the
most part in a prepared line once it left book.

That line went something like;
http://www.rebel.nl/ubb/Forum7/HTML/000149.html

[TimeControl "300+3"]

1. d4 b6 2. e4 Bb7 3. Bd3 f5 4. Nc3 Nf6 5. Qe2 e6 6. Nf3 fxe4 7. Nxe4 g6 8.
O-O Bg7 9. Nxf6+ Qxf6 10. Bg5 Bxf3 11. Bxf6 Bxe2 12. Bxg7 Bxf1 13. Bxh8 Bxd3
14. cxd3 Nc6 15. Rc1 O-O-O 16. Be5 Kb7 17. Rc3 d6 18. Bf6 Rf8 19. d5 Nb4 20.
Bg5 e5 21. Kf1 Nxd5 22. Ra3 c5 23. h4 Nb4 24. Be7 Rf4 25. Bg5 Rd4 26. Ke2 a6
27. f3 h6 28. Bxh6 Rxh4 29. Bd2 d5 30. Bxb4 Rxb4 31. b3 Rh4 32. Kf2 a5 33.
Ke3 Kc6 34. Ra4 Rxa4 35. bxa4 g5 36. Kd2 c4 37. dxc4 dxc4 38. a3 Kc5 39. Ke3
b5 40. axb5 Kxb5 41. Kd2 Ka4 42. Kc3 Kxa3 43. Kxc4 Kb2 44. Kb5 Kc3 45. Kxa5
e4 46. fxe4 Kd4 47. Kb4 g4 48. e5 Kxe5 49. Kc3 Kf4 50. Kd3 Kg3 51. Ke4 Kxg2
52. Ke3 g3 53. Ke2 Kh2 54. Ke3 g2 55. Ke4 Kg3 56. Ke5 Kf3 57. Kd4 g1=Q+ 58.
Kd5 Qb6 59. Ke5 Qc6 60. Kd4 Qb5 61. Kc3 Ke3 62. Kc2 Qb4 63. Kc1 Kd3 64. Kd1
Qd2# {White checkmated} 0-1

I modified a batch file to play the line as white;
4. exf5 !!        Bxg2 5. Qh5+ g6 6. hxg Bg7 7. gxh+ Kf8 and since the line was
in most Chessbase books most of the CB programs fell for the line. It stopped
this prepared line against Tiger.
