I believe there are some rules to these errors and the errors are usually when
draws are written in the CD instead of winning for the side with material
disadvantage.

chessbase can simply define rules when to use the cd.

I suggest the following simple rule for fritz:

1)analyze the position for one second without the cd
2)analyze the position after the cd move for one second.
3)If there is big difference in the evaluation(more than 3 pawns) then do not
trust the cd otherwise trust the cd.
