Again Fritz could play this line. But as before the chances are almost none. To
just start out this line of play fritz shows a .8% chance of playing this line.
not even a 1% chance. So either fritz has been very unlucky in both games or the
opening book is not set to optimize or it was force to play some very low
weighted moves. You pick the reason. As many games as I have played with fritz 5
this has never happend to me. Here are the percentages for the 4 move fritz
could play as black at move 1. C5 82.2%, e5 12.8%, e6 4.1%, c6 .8% and this is
just for the first move. Now if you take the other moves in the line of play
that are also better it gets to be a very much of an impossibility that Fritz
would play those lines in both the games. unless the book was not set to
optimize or it was force to play the moves.
