You sound very original. I've got an impression you never analyzed your
coorespondence games with Fritz 8.1.2.0  or Deep Fritz 8. Right, Fritz's play is
more attacking or combinatory in style but it understands good positional chess
too. Fruit 2.1 is a weakie against Fritz in both attacking or positional chess.
I used to test them on Nunn2 Test 1st position: English Hedgehog. It's in this
position where the positional knowledge or skills are checked. Fritz gave no
chance to Fruit 2.1 with the score: 6.5-3.5. It's true that I prefer attacking
chess more but you can't always hope for picking your own apples, so positional
games are not rare visitors in my practice.
I think it's not for nothing that Garri Kasparov uses Fritz as his computer
assistant.
