The methods to defeat computer chess programs outlined in How To Fool Fritz I (Albert H. Alberts, Explorations in Man-Assisted-Machine-Chess, Lulu.com 2007) are extrapolated to grandmaster level in this sequel. No risk, no win. Chess machines being able to refute all tactical traps, Swindles, etc., long term material and positional asymmetry has to be induced via gambits, pawns for a piece or light piece vs. rook exchanges from an initially disadvantage tilting to winning advantage mainly in the ending. The glory of romantic 19th century Morphyan chess reappears in miniature sidelines. Playing the 20th century style we converge on the paradigms of Robert James Fischer: (1) when played correctly without calculative errors the chess game is a draw, (2) black has to equalize the position before taking risks, (3) the Open Sicilian is the central battlefield.

Human imagination, intuition and creativity will be victorious over dead cool machine calculation for at least the next century.
