{The second game was a Petroff. Actually the first time Emanuel faced this
opening in a tournament level game. (Except for one game played in a small
tournament several years ago, when E chose 3.Nc3). Making it into one of the
side lines, E sacrificed a pawn - actually played once by Arakhamia Grant in
1994. Fritz saw nothing better than returning the pawn, resulting in an ending
RRB vs RRN. Black slowly got worse and drifted into an almost zugzwang
position. Emanuel probably missed the win somewhere, maybe in move 46 and the
result was a draw. During this game we had some syncronizing problems, due
to having some coffee and not hearing the moves played by Fritz...;-) But we
followed the ordinary clock beside the board. Here's the game which surely
will inspire E to prepare something for the Petroff... 256MB, Fritz7.ctg,
