He did. Game 1 was a beautiful trap, exploiting a computer's classic greediness.
Fritz was incredibly lucky to not lose. Game 2 was a surprise to many I think. I
don't mean the blunder which is just human, but rather the excellent pawn storm
Fritz mounted on the queenside with a4-a5-b4-c4. etc. All in the right order
too. Impressive. His idea was very intelligent in theory. Set up a King's Indian
style attack, but without the endless opening theory Fritz would no doubt
beenfit from if it were the noraml opening. In other words, set up a similar
dangerous attack but with Fritz actually having to find the moves.
>Why did fritz take so long to response 1.Nb3?
Many wondered about this, and it is understandable when one knows little about
computer chess. In a nutshell, Fritz thought it was doing very well until then,
and all of a sudden it realized it wasn't doing so well. Programs are usually
set to take extra time if this happens and that's exactly what took place.
>Why black made that silly bishop move to e7?
Fritz made LOTS of silly moves as it clearly had no idea what to do. It just
shows that millions of nodes per second won't always do the trick. This is
nothing new.

This last statement is just typical troll rubbish.
