I think that kramnik could beat Fritz but he simply did not want to do it.
He resigned in a position that he had very good practical chances for a draw by
fortress and at least fritz could not beat itself in that position(I am not
going to discuss the theroetic result in that position).

I expect human that really wants to win not to resign in position that he is not
100% sure of losing(99% confidence is not enough).

It is better to continue in a hopeless position and not to resign in a position
that is practically draw when the computer plays it against itself.
