Subject: Fritz5's positional sacrifices

In the last game against Hiarcs7 Fritz5 sacrificed 2 pawns.

The first sacrifice was when Fritz5.32 played 24....Ne4 instead of Ne8 in the
following position to get pair of bishops(the main line of Hiarcs7 showed that
it expected this sacrifice):

1r4k1/1b1r1ppp/p1p1pn1b/2PpP3/1P1P4/2BB2PP/P1N5/4RRK1 b - - 0 1


The second sacrifice was when Fritz5.32 played a5 after 25.Bxe4 dxe4 26.Rxe4 Bg5
27.Na3 to get the bishop to the game.

I believe that the position is drawn but Fritz5.32 surprisingly won the game
because of mistakes of Hiarcs7 in the endgame(Hiarcs7 wanted to win the drawn
game).

I think that a good idea for the grandmaster in the match against Hiarcs7 may be
to go for a dead draw endgames and hope for mistakes of Hiarcs7.
