Emanuel is having a very rough time vs Fritz 7. The result is, so far, much
worse then against Gambit Tiger. Don't think the main difference is the engine
though. But more the positions resulting from the openings. Vs GT we saw 2
Sicilians with Emanuel as white. Vs Fritz we have Petroff, French and now
Scottish. These games show the opposite from Smirin-computers, i.e. no anti-
computer stuff or trying to play the opponent. Since E loves a tactical, open
game we end up in Fritzes home ground. With time pressure for the human (whole
game in 2 hours) against a mercyless Fritz...
4th round showed a Scottish opening where Fritz improved on Nataf-Hector 1999.
PIII 800 256 Mb hash - Fritz7.ctg, 2 hours for the whole game.
