There are positions that no program can solve

I disagree about this example
The problems that I see are:
1)Fritz did not use 36 hours on the best hardware of today
2)Crafty could find the best move in that case based on another post
3)The Fritz version is not the latest version and the latest version is Deep
Fritz

I also believe that Fritz is not the best program for simple positions and there
are positions that it can never solve because of wrong null move pruning.
