...makes me sick in the stomage.

QUOTE

 When you play through this game, take a look at the forced sequence commencing
with Fritz’ …Bc2, and count how many ply there are from there to the position
when Matthias Feist resigned on Fritz’ behalf. Then add a few more ply because,
in the final position, although Black will inevitably be saddled with a decisive
material deficit, at that moment the program still had two minor pieces for a
rook. So the depth to which Fritz would have needed to search in the critical
variation, in order to realise that …Bc2 was a losing move rather than a winning
one, was quite beyond the program’s capability.

UNQUOTE

So much for the human like "knowledge" of Fritz.
