Old programs like Fritz5.32 or Junior5 clear their hash tables between the moves
and do not remember previous thinking but it is not the case for the new
programs.

It is possible that some programs need time to download their previous thinking

I do not know if this is the problem of Fritz but the fact that fritz almost
never lose on time in blitz makes me suspect that it is not the problem.
