Correct Burkett was Black and White blundered.

It's important that Black missed it, because he was the one that annotated the
game.

White missed the Draw, as originally Posted.
Missed it twice in fact.
Black also missed it, as it was not mentioned in the original game Notes, but
added after, when I pointed it out to the players.

It didn't, that's the point!

The point of the original Post!
Neither player OR Fritz found it!

Well it Didn't!

I think it is extremly important that Fritz did not see the Draw either time!
Players relied on it's analysis, rather than thinking on their own, and
missed it.

Robin also pointed out the Fritz problem in this game, although Crafty, Hiarchs,
and other Engines found it immediately.
Why are you defending Fritz?
This is a good Test Position for Engines!
