This seems like a very weak version of fritz. For instance 16.. Nf6? is just suicide. Better was Ne7 as it at least puts a temporary block on the e-file.
In any case if you're keen to beat fritz I wouldn't do it in an open game but rather play positional.
Game against fritz

Congratulations on your beating fritz in this game.
Fritz already had a losing position before the Nf6 move,
I don't think Ne7 would have altered the final outcome much.
I like this game very much. It looks like the kind I'd be interested in analyzing if I decide to write a chess book someday.
I admire the level of tactical depth you displayed, it's one thing for your opponent to have weaknesses, and its another to exploit them instructively. There's a certain elegance about this game, beginning with move 12, which was a concealed move that couldn't have been spotted by your regular coffee shop chess player. Then instead of wasting tempo in capturing the a8 rook or g8 knight, it was fed into building positional pressure on the e-file; which led to a classic finish with a queen sacrifice mating combination.
