So what is the conclusion as of this pont?  I see some low-probability moves,
meaning 10-20%, but you'd expect to have these sometimes.

There is one 0.8% move played, but I think it makes sense to give Thorsten the
benefit of the doubt on that one.

In any case, that one move doesn't explain why Fritz did poorly in several other
games.
