A Kamikaze style, total suicide. It's hard to believe that Judith thought she could outplay Fritz in open games full of tactical complications !!! Perhaps she forgot to read Mig's interview with Kasparov where Kasparov gave credit to Fritz in helping him improve his ability to calculate more accurate and deeply. I'm always an admirer of Judith Polgar for her attacking chess style, but against Fritz or any other top 5 chess engines this is a suicide strategy, she should have changed her style after losing the first game, and definitely after losing two games in a row, she should have adopted a change in her opening reportoire and tried to play closed games. That's the problem with Judith, she's a prisoner of a single style, and she's not very good in closed positions. Unlike Kasparov who has a universal style. Either she's too brave and wants to prove that she can have equal footing against Fritz in open, tactical positions, or she does not mind losing to a chess engine.
