a4 is odd. You're right. Is Fritz going after the Queen? Or maybe he's going to castle and sac the Knight for control of the a-file.
You didn't like e6+? I think it's really strong, and not in a particularly subtle way.
Though I don't know what the second option was.
It was pretty ballsy for Feivel to go for a tactical game against a computer.

Originally posted by AThousandYoungNd6 was the second choice move. Im now convinced that e6 is stronger, but when I first saw the moves I prefered Nd6.

a4, seems central to Fritz's plan. I noticed that in the other variations that fritz was listing that a4 was in almost all of them as the next move or the one after. Not only that it also listed the a4 now 2 points over every other move which im really not sure of. :-)

kramnik v deep junior
there was a whole tournament in turkey dedicated to humans vs computers
