Subject: Fritz6 ... Problem analysis question

Author: James Thompson

Date: 10:33:10 08/18/00

In an earlier post the following position was proposed:

[D] kbb2rr1/1p6/p3p1q1/PN1pB3/1n6/R3Q3/5PB1/6K1  w - -

Varoius responses indicated some pretty rapid solution times for various
programs: some as short as 8 seconds.  When I set up this position for Fritz6a,
I left the computer running overnight and it still had not found the solution
mate in 8 beginning with 1.Qa7+.  I used the normal settings for mate analysis
in the Fritz program.  Any idea why Fritz could locate the mate?  I must admit I
was surprised and disappointed when my "number 1" rated program could not find
the solution and others could. :(
