	X3D Fritz - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		X3D Fritz is the version of the chess playing program Fritz which in November 2003 played a four game match against world number one Grandmaster Garry Kasparov.
		Fritz ran on four Intel Pentium 4 Xeon CPUs at 2.8GHz.
		Fritz managed to open lines against Kasparov's king, and drew with perpetual check.

	The Telegraph - Calcutta (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		Kasparov tied his first game against x3d Fritz, lost the second after what he described as a “horrible lapse” in concentration and then came back to win the third.
		X3d Fritz is an upgraded version of “Fritz,” the machine which took on Kramnik in Bahrain in 2002, tying him four to four.
		Deep Junior and X3d Fritz are far more compact and claim a more “human” ability to focus on strategy rather than just capturing the opponent’s chess pieces quickly.

	Kasparov vs X3D Fritz

		X3D Fritz would grab more pawns and push them down the board where they would promote to new queens.

	Fritz pounces on Kasparov blunder - 14 November 2003 - New Scientist (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		Fritz now has a one-point lead in the four-game contest in New York, after game one ended in a draw.
		However, John Fernandez, chess consultant for Fritz, says he will not be satisfied until Fritz uses "real intelligence" to beat Kasparov, rather than "waiting for the human to slip up and then nailing him".
		Fritz was able to capitalise on the blunder thanks to an earlier move that had seemed illogical to human commentators at the time.

	Techzonez - Kasparov Blunder Gives 'X3D Fritz' Chess Win
		A cold, calculating computer called "X3D Fritz" swiftly took advantage of an all-too-human error by world No. 1 chess player Garry Kasparov on Thursday to win the second game of their four-game match in New York.
		A tense, evenly balanced struggle became a mismatch on Kasparov's 32nd turn when the grandmaster blundered with a rook move that allowed the computer to penetrate his defenses with an unstoppable attack -- a queen, a rook and a pawn marching down the board on its way to converting into another queen.
		X3D Fritz, a combination of German-built Fritz software and New York-based X3D Technologies' virtual reality software, plays as well as a solid grandmaster, according to chess experts.
