How to get rid of them?! Load the game then access the medals dialog by double clicking on the medal. You can then use the mouse to uncheck the boxes which have been ticked in order to remove those medals from the notation. Unfortunately, this possibility is only available in the ChessBase program, not Fritz.
Now on to the post...
1996...the year President Bill Clinton (aka"Slick Willie") was re-elected to a second term, beating out Kansas Senator Bob Dole and billionaire, politician and philanthropist Ross Perot.
Unabomber Theodore John Kaczynski, who had terrorized the nation for nearly 20 years, was arrested by the FBI. Gasoline cost $1.23 a gallon, but what about bacon?
If you lived in 1940, bacon cost 23 cents a pound (adjusted for inflation that would be $3.91 today) and throughout the 1940s and 1950s, it never cost more than 67 cents a pound.
The 1960s saw bacon inching upward in price and for the first time in 1973, bacon prices exceeded a dollar a pound and throughout the 1980s, prices climbed towards $2.
In 1996, bacon was $3.20 a pound...that's $6.07 in today's dollars, so the $3.99 sale price for the pound of bacon I cooked for breakfast this morning was was great deal!
In 1996, probably the most talked about chess event came in Philadelphia on February 1st when Garry Kasparov beat IBM's Deep Blue by a score of 4-2. When it won the first game Deep Blue became the first computer to beat a world champion under tournament conditions.
Deep Blue's calculating wasn't much by today's standards: 50 billion positions every 3 minutes using 200 processors.
Barbara Kaczorowska (born 21 October 1960), nee Szumiło, won the Polish Women's Championship in 1993 and holds the FIDE Woman IM which she received in 1989.
From the mid-1980s to the mid-1990s she was one of the leading Polish women players. She won the Polish Junior Championship in 1978 and 1979 in the Under 20 category.
From 1975 to 1996 she played 14 times in the Polish Women's Championship finals and in 1989 represented Poland at the Women's World Championship zonal tournament in Brno.
In the following game Kaczorowska scores a nice tactical win in the 1996 Polish Women's Championship

Modern Defense 1.d4 g6 In the Modern Defense black allows white to occupy
the center with Ps on d4 and e4, then attempts to attack and undermine the
ideal center without attempting to occupy it. 2.e4 g7 3.g3 d6 4.g2 f5 4...f6 5.c3 0-0 6.ge2 c5 Predke,A (2690)-Nikolaev,M (1925) Moscow 2020
(by transposition) was the accepted treatment of this line; black's move is
too risky in that it leads to a loosening of the K-side. 5.exf5 gxf5
Horrible! At least taking with the B develops a piece. 6.h5+ Of course! f8 7.f3 This move, shutting off the Qs retreat, is not the best. The Q has
accomplished its mission and so returning to d1 was best...the loss of time
was worth displacing black's K. White could also have considered 7.Nh3 f6 8.h4 h6 9.c3 c6 10.0-0 d7 11.a3 e8 Better was 11...e6 12.f4 12.d5
would have taken advantage of black's lapse last move. e5 13.xe5 dxe5 14.b4 with an excellent position. 12...e5 Further opening up the position
cannot be good. Building up her defense with moves like ...Qf7, ...Re8 and ...
e6 would have been a safer path. 13.dxe5± dxe5 14.c4 e6 14...f7 15.c5+ e7 16.xe7+ xe7 was better. 15.b5 Attacking the b-Pawn looks OK,
but the Q has moved one square too far. 15.c5+ e7 16.b5 e4
Counterattacking. 16...b8 is no better. 17.xe5 xe5 18.xe5 d5 19.e2 xc3 20.bxc3 xc3 21.b1 b6 22.f4 white is better. 17.xb7 e8 18.h4 b8 19.xc7 Here, too, white stands very well. 15...c8 This is too
passive of a defense! 15...a6 This baits a nifty little trap and if white
falls for it, she would lose the game. 16.c5+ 16.xb7 a7 and the Q is
trapped. 16...e7 and black has equalized. The difference between this
position and the position after 15.Qc5+ is that here white has no threats on
the b-Pawn or on the long white diagonal. 16.e3 16.Re1 packed more punch. g8 17.ad1 h7 18.fe1 a6 19.c5 e6 19...e7 20.xe7 xe7 21.xe5
wins 20.g5 f8 21.e3 g4 22.c1 c5 White's small slip on move 15 has
allowed black to equalize. However, the pressure is on black because one slip
is likely to prove disastrous. 23.d2 g8 Rather pointless. Black needs to
play aggressively and so 23...e4 was called for. 23...e4 24.f4 f7 25.h4 e7 26.d5 xh4 27.gxh4 ge5 with a satisfactory game. 24.h4 Missing a
good opportunity. 24.h3 xf2 25.xf2 hxg5 26.xg5+ xg5 27.xg5 xf2+ 28.xf2 and white stands well. 24...e4 Equalizing. 25.h3 ge5 This proves
fatal. 25... Nf6 preventing white next move was required. 25...f6 Things
get messy, but black stays safe. 26.b4 26.xf6 Intending to play Nd5
anyway. xf6 27.d5 f7 28.b4 28.h2 The N cannot move. xg3 28...exf3 29.bxc5 fxg2 Black is better. 26...d6 27.dd1 d7 28.d2 af8 Here
comes the tactics! 29.cxe4 fxe4 30.xe4 xe4 31.xe4+ g6 32.xc6 32.xg6+ xg6 is unclear. 32...f5 33.e4 xf2+ 34.h1 c6 35.xc6 bxc6 36.d3 with equal chances. 26.xe5 xe5 27.d5 This is OK, but she missed a
neat tactic. 27.xe4 fxe4 28.xe4+ g7 29.b4 d6 30.f4 g6 31.f5
and wins 27...g7 28.f6+ 28.xe4 Flashy, but no better than the text. fxe4 29.f6+ g6 30.xe4+ f7 31.d5 f3+ 32.xf3 32.g2 xh4+ and
black is better! 32...xg3+ 33.xg3 xf6 34.d1 and white is winning. 28...g6 29.d1 f7 30.h5 h7 31.f4 c6 32.h5 32.d5 was stronger. g6 33.xg6 xg6 34.xe4 fxe4 35.h5+ g7 36.e5+ g8 37.d8+ f8 37...f8 38.xe4 also wins 38.xe4 with a winning attack. 32...d7 33.xe4 This imprecise move loses a great deal of white's advantage. 33.Rd5 would
have been crushing. 33.d5 is a crusher although in all fairness
accurately calculating the results was beyond the range of all but an engine. xf2+ 34.xf2 b6+ 35.e3 g6 36.g5 h8 37.e7 e8 38.c5 xb2 39.d4 xc2+ 40.e2 c6 41.xf5 d7 42.xe4 33...fxe4 34.xe5 e8 35.d5
This allows black to equalize! 35.h5 is a different outcome. ef8 36.d5 That move again! f5 37.xd7+ xd7 38.g6+ h8 39.xh6+ g8 40.xe4
and black is doomed. 35...xd5 36.xd5 36.xd5 is equal. a7 36...e5 The fatal blunder. 36...e3 37.fxe3 c6 with equal chances. 37.f6+ White is clearly winning after this. xf6 38.xf6 f5 39.xd7+ g6 40.d4 Black resigned. 1–0
