Understand of this position used to be included in one of the commonly used test suites, so perhaps this is why Fritz understands this. If someone wants to do some Fritz archaeology, they may be interested in figuring out which version of Fritz introduced this knowledge. Surely it can't be doing it with search. It's very easy to take this to queening, and that's +8 or so. In order to win for real, you have to prefer the position with the k-side pawns gone and the white king a ways away from the q-side pawns. bruce
