Subject: Chessbase's spin on Fritz's victory over Sokolov

Author: Brett Clark

From the Chessbase website:

"Fritz saved the day for the computers with a brilliant win against the Ivan
Sokolov. The 2620 GM played a novelty which he had prepared together with Ulf
Andersson and Jan Timman for the latter’s match against Garry Kasparov last
year. Unfortunately Fritz completely refuted the idea with some masterful
tactical strokes which stunned Sokolov and forced him to resign in 22 moves."

Someone help me out here.  I'm a 1300 patzer, so I don't know if this is true or
not.  I recall reading some posts that Sokolov just made a bad mistake, and
Fritz really didn't do anything worthy of praise.  I'd like to hear some
opinions on the Chessbase spin doctor's version of the win.
