Subject: A question about Chessmaster8000,Deep Fritz and Nimzo8(preproccesing)

I did not buy these programs and I am interested to know if these programs do
preprocessing.

1)Do you have experience of cases when the evaluation of the program is stable
and close to be +1 and after the expected move it changes to  be +0.5 not
because of deeper search?

I mean to something like this:
Depth 11 +1.02
Depth 12 +1.04
Depth 13 +1.09
Depth 14 +1.01

After playing the expected move by the program you get the following evaluations
Depth 9 +0.4
Depth 10 +0.5
Depth 11 +0.47
Depth 12 +0.48


If the reply to 1 is positive then it is clear that the program does
preprocessing.

If the reply to 1 is neagative then I have another question:

Do you know that the programmer always avoid preprocessing?(the only way to know
is to ask the programmer because it is possible that the preprocessing is not
common and that this is the reason that you did not see it in your experience).
