Ignoring the rest. I don't understand. Moritz says that the old version
produces the same results as your game but that the NEW non-comercial
version 5.01 produces the moves I mentioned: Kf7 all the way. I am not a
beta tester and do not have version 5.01 . Just in case though, I'm
subjecting the information of the engine file to your scrutiny:

MS-DOS name: FRITZ500.ENG  106,496 bytes Modified: August 14, 1997

This is what was installed by my Fritz 5 CD.
