The game was wrong. I find the Opening book was not followed. It
thought for 10 min in opening first move? It always plays opening
moves in 0 seconds. And First 4 moves are opening moves.

Why was opening not played. It means there was something wrong with
loading of program, Otherwise a descent opening would have been played
and it would have tough time for fritz8 once the game started with a
correct opening.

Actually, the first few moves were not to blame here.

1. Nf3 d5
2. d4 Nf6
3. Bg5 Ne4

This is the Trompowski, and it was only when GetClub
played the horrible 4. Qd3 that it got into trouble.

Even so, the sac' on f7 was completely un-called for;
the Knight should have just retreated. Something is
horribly wrong if the program sac's a piece for spite
checks, when there is no substantive attack. Hint:
you cannot conduct an attack by sacrificing the only
piece you have developed, because after the sacrifice,
that piece can attack no more. Duh!
