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 Bg7 3. g3 d6 4. Bg2 f5 (
4... Nf6 5. Nc3 O-O 6. Nge2 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. Qh5+ {Of course!}
Kf8 7. Nf3 {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} Nf6 8.
Qh4 h6 9. Nc3 Nc6 10. O-O Bd7 11. a3 Qe8 {Better was 11...e6} 12. Qf4 (12. d5 {
would have taken advantage of black's lapse last move.} Ne5 13. Nxe5 dxe5 14.

cannot be good. Building up her defense with moves like ...Qf7, ...Re8 and ...
e6 would have been a safer path.} 13. dxe5 $16 dxe5 14. Qc4 Be6 (14... Qf7 15.

but the Q has moved one square too far.} (15. Qc5+ Qe7 16. Qb5 e4 {

passive of a defense!} (15... a6 {This baits a nifty little trap and if white
falls for it, she would lose the game.} 16. Qc5+ (16. Qxb7 Ra7 {and the Q is
trapped.}) 16... Qe7 {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. Be3 {16.Re1 packed more punch.}

wins}) 20. Bg5 Bf8 21. Qe3 Ng4 22. Qc1 Bc5 {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. Rd2 Rg8 {Rather pointless. Black needs to
play aggressively and so 23...e4 was called for.} (23... e4 24. Bf4 Qf7 25. Nh4

good opportunity.} (24. h3 Nxf2 25. Rxf2 hxg5 26. Nxg5+ Rxg5 27. Qxg5 Bxf2+ 28.

fatal. 25... Nf6 preventing white next move was required.} (25... Nf6 {Things
get messy, but black stays safe.} 26. b4 (26. Bxf6 {Intending to play Nd5
anyway.} Qxf6 27. Nd5 Qf7 28. b4 (28. Nh2 {The N cannot move.} Rxg3) 28... exf3

neat tactic.} (27. Nxe4 fxe4 28. Bxe4+ Kg7 29. b4 Bd6 30. f4 Ng6 31. f5 {
