Are these 'human-like sentances' such as "Black should quickly
conclude development" produced by Fritz itself, or are they what you
ahve added yourself?

They were added by Fritz itself, which has a "verbose" option in
the analysis menu. However, I'm not entirely sure how appropriate
some of its comments are. It seems to me that there is a not very
big set of phrases (such as "and White has reached his goal",
"spoils a very nice position", etc) from which Fritz chooses the
appropriate one on each occasion.
Also, I have some doubts on computer analysis in general, although
I must add that I'm only a beginner. Sometimes Fritz will put an
exclamation mark next to moves which I thought were not particularly
good or even mistakes.
For example, here is a game of which I am particularly ashamed.
"Seth" is one of Chessmaster's weaker personalities, with an Elo in
the low 900's or high 800's. I was in a winning position but all I
managed to get was a draw. Now, look at the analysis below. I think
my move 39. Rh8+ was pretty bad, a senseless sacrifice, yet Fritz 8
put an exclamation mark next to it - in spite of the fact that the
following maneuver (which Fritz praised) lost a rook and a knight.
