When fritz plays a weak move

I don’t have a problem with Fritz 5 playing weak moves. It may play a weak move
and think the move is best and rank it the highest move out of 4 or 5 possible
moves it could play. What I don’t understand is why in your tournament, Fritz 5
continually played the lowest ranking moves, move after move and game after
game. This is not normal behavior for Fritz 5 to act in such a way. That is my
problem with your games. So the question is why did Fritz 5 continually play
lower ranking moves over moves Fritz 5 thought from its own book tree were
better?  If that was normal for Fritz 5 to do this I would not have a problem,
but it is not normal for Fritz 5 to act in such a way. The pattern is clear and
evident in your games that fritz liked lower percentage move over higher
percentage moves in your tournament. That suggests some kind of problem and
anyone looking at the data would agree.
