I ran the 37th, then the 38th, and finally the 39th moves where he screams murder and at no time does Fritz 5 choose those moves. They ARE it's second choice, but most certainly not it's first. In all 3 instances it in fact chose Kf7. I played around with the hash tables (as someone mentioned that the eval changed according to the amount of hash tables) but acquired very consistent results (with the exception of how long it took to find them). Could someone tell me what's up? Albert
