The Fritz PowerBook is compiled from a GM database with the only criterion for including a game in the book being the playing strength of both players. The PowerBook doesn't contain *any* preferences to make Fritz prefer or avoid any kind of opening lines, except of course the statistics from the human database (win/loss/draw ratio and move frequency as well as ELO performance which Fritz doesn't use AFAIK). It's basically just a good database, nothing more and doesn't include any previous Fritz games. Moritz
