This case is not a matter of time either. Look below at the analysis by Crafty
16.18 and Shredder 3 with the starting position and after forcing Qe1 QxQ. Only
1 or 2 plies deeper they see almost instantly what they didn't see before in a
long search. This is what this kind of positions have in common with Thorsten's.
Null movers and root processors blunder this way every now and then.

If for this reason you can't trust Fritz for analysis, you can't trust Tiger,
Nimzo, Shredder, Crafty and a long etcetera.
