It was a big home preparation line.  It's not all _that_ hard for a computer to
think that axb5 is the best move in the position, but finding the next move,
Bd4, is probably too difficult for any computer today.  Certainly, they won't
find it with any kind of decent score.  The line Fritz gives there is pretty
pointless, and isn't going to win anything.
