the null-hypothesis is "nothing is wrong with quest/fritz". and there is not
enough statistics to reject it :-)

to me as a 2200 player this sac looks terrific. i don't doubt it is correct.
unfortunately, there was no discussion here. if you post any stupid "mate in X"
here, you will find lots of people answering. i've asked for analysis by other
engines on this position twice, and nobody responded... i guess no other program
can find the sac, and of course, it's more fun to say "my program found it in
0.0001 seconds" than "my program can't find it even after a day" :-)
