i guess there was also a pawn on b3.

I will later post the whole game.

Fritz played not good.
i did not see the whole game. I started the autoplayer and when i later
came to the computers i was very astonished myself.

I will post the whole game later this evening.
I hope you can stand this :-))

BTW: from watching the game, or the few moves and computations i saw, it did NOT
looked that Fritz was stronger. The evaluations and the way it made progress in
the iterations related between the 2 programs showed that movei was really good.

did you ever tested the program on that level (40/120 , 20/60) ?
Or do you normally play faster time controls ??
