If the evaluation is dependent in the initial position then the program is
called a root processor.

Fritz can trade queens when the evaluation is changed after trading queens
not because of the fact that it can see more but because before trading queens
Fritz believes that there is a king safety problem for white and after trading
queens it suddenly understands that there is no problem because there is not
enough material in the board.

The problem is that Fritz has one evaluation for middle game positions and
another evaluation for endgame positions.

If the original position is a middle game position it does not use the endgame
evaluation in the search and start to use it only when the position in the board
is endgame position.
