The first of these, 2001's "The Last Supper," had the user unfold a sheet in different directions depending on what choices he wanted to make, starting with whether to eat a brussel sprout or not. The most remarkable of these books, "Meanwhile...," is a photocopied, hand-constructed wonder.

The Fritz team insisted that it would not be so easy for the world champion to play the calculating monster to a draw. "We are going to go down fighting," said Frederic Friedel, "he'll be nervous after [his loss in] game...
