Yes, it is correct. He said "it's good at...". And Fritz never was good at...
You are now talking about luck. BTW the match between Fritz and Junior was
corrupted just because the change of machines after 4 games or 5. So from there
you should read Eric Schiller's report. Enrique Irazoqui has an academic title,
that's true, but it has nothing to do with computer chess or natural sciences.
Why that should have any kind of relevance? Oh, don't bring up the old topic
again! People wouldn't understand it. It's always about the apples and peas.
Frederic Friedel likes Enrique because he was acting as Jesus with Pasolini.
That's a typical tendence for ChessBase. The moment someone famous touched the
chess pieces he's good enough for a little PR. Good example is one of the German
soccer players who participated in the last Wch, named Marco Bode. Or take the
PR action with the space modul MIR. I can only prey that NASA should never
decide to go for a new star or a moon of Pluto called "fritz somehow", because
then we must play chess (in Germany at least) with these air-tight space helms,
you know! Please just watch 'Wag the dog' with Robert de Niro and Dustin
Hoffman.
