Fritz does not know to stop using the tablebases when they tell it that the distance to mate does not decrease and because of this reason it needs the KRQ vs KR tablebases. If you do not give it this tablebases then programs that never resign can get better result and I do not like it. I do not think that customers are interested more in a program only because they never resign. Uri
