Subject: Fritz and null move (selectivity parameter)

I have seen many posts where they say Fritz cannot solve this or that problem.
Many of the times it is because Fritz is (by default) a null mover.

Now what is the reaction?

Many people start saying that it is because Fritz is not a good program, and
that you can't switch off the null move engine.

How far from reality!!!

Quoting from the (really meager) Fritz 5.32 manual

'(Selectivity) Denotes the number of plies reduced by the null-move. A value of
zero means that the null-move is switched off'.

I guess that says it all.
