I have noticed the same thing.  I mentioned this a few weeks ago   AS "Horrible"
play by Deep-Fritz 7 when used on a single processor.
Fritz 7 was for the most part  KILLING most High rated human players on the ICC
chess site   Including GM Mark Hebdon at 5/12.
I have noticed that DF7 does not get into the same type of positions as Fritz 7.
Either it plays real passive where the games are almost dead even, or it plays
dumb  and I mean DUMB Kingside attacks with WING attacks while it's own King is
still in the center UNCASTLED. I am noticing now that Fritz 7 is not doing as
well either.
Perhaps just coincidence. It just seems very very wierd.
