Fritz has a very materialist outlook and often fails to see the big picture. Fritz is really good at endgames, and is very useful in certain middlegame positions where you're looking at 8-10 move lines. In many of these opening variations, however, it takes for granted that it can play with a degree of perfection and exactitude that your opponents simply will not have, even at strong master level. The position on your board is not what the books recommend because black is simply down a pawn and while white will have to soak up some pressure, in the big picture, he'll be better.
