This would be a bad example to use that computers are weak...This was played
because of some kind of bug in the Fritz search. It happens and can be fixed
without problems I would guess. Even with this bug that cost Fritz 1 point in
the match. Fritz still is 3-3 after 6 games playing the WORLD CHAMPION.

Do I really believe this??

This is why subjective reasoning is flawed. It has been clear for sometime now
using objective results that computers are GM level Players.
