f5-f4 attack e3, just like a4-5-6 are needed for white to attack b7. Isn't this
what Nimzowitch learned us. g5 could be needed for playing f4 but isn't any goal
in itself.

Else I was a bit unhappy, not because of Fritz's play but because of all wrong
computeranalysis under the game. If they go wrong in such a basic structure that
is maybe the most common in human-human games, then there isn't much help in
using them as an analyze helper either.
