This was the sting.

Wyerstrass looked at the games of Wormwood and thought this will be easy
when instead he should have been looking at the games of Woodworm.

My next name will be Woodwood or Wormworm. There has to be some luck in those words.

I hope someone with access to a recent version of Fritz will be able to post a Fritz match-up analysis of this game soon, just so we can see how well both players played.
My automated "top 3" code can't use Fritz since it's not a UCI engine. But for what it's worth, here is Rybka 2.3.2 at 30 seconds per move, starting at move 16.

White:
Top 1: 34/60 = 56.7%
Top 2: 51/60 = 85.0%
Top 3: 57/60 = 95.0%

Black:
Top 1: 45/59 = 76.3%
Top 2: 53/59 = 89.8%
Top 3: 54/59 = 91.5%

are you sure about that? aren't all chessbase family engines UCI engines? i.e you can't use the fritz 11 engine in shredder interface?

No. The Fritz engine does not support UCI. The Fritz *GUI* supports UCI engines though.

Thanks very much for that. Does your "top 3" generator give detailed results? At one stage during this game someone sent me a message saying that both sides had played the #1 Fritz move for something like 15 moves in a row, and he correctly predicted the next three moves for either side! (and they weren't obvious or forced moves).

Um does anyone know what the stats would be for like a 2000 fide player like would it be like 10% or more like 40 percent match up

there's no 15 fritz moves in a row. fritz agrees with the moves between 21 and 26 but I don't think that means much, it involves some captures and obvious moves.

and as a side note, woodworm has terrific ratings on FICS too.

Wait a minute, don't mix him up with woodworm.
