    X3D Fritz holds the draw against Kasparov in exciting game one.
    12.11.2003 The machine threw down the gauntlet by playing the same Slav
    Defense in which Kasparov beat Deep Junior in the first game of their
    January match. X3D Fritz grabbed a pawn, sacrificed the exchange and
    held on to draw against the world #1, forcing a repetition to end the
    battle on move 37.</q>

    It is easy to overlook to significance of the phrase 'X3D
    Fritz...sacrificed the exchange' in this brief report. Computers are
    notoriously materialistic
    and this apparent 'positional judgment' on the part of Fritz is very
    interesting.

    It has the effect of making Fritz appear more human in style.

    Best Regards
