I have no idea, and cannot possibly verify it, because I can't even run Fritz on my computer. However, that the program finds the right moves in a tiny set of positions like this means nothing at all, even if no other program solves all the positions. Even for a crappy program like mine, it would probably be possible (after some hours of trial and error) to find a few positions where it (probably just by chance) finds the right moves more quickly than any other program. I am not saying that you are wrong, mind you. I don't know (and honestly don't care, because I can't use the program anyway) how strong or human-like Fritz is. However, you can't expect people to just look at your examples and believe your claims without further justification. Tord
