I do not know if they can fix it or cannot fix it.
The fact that they did not fix it in the past does not prove that they cannot
fix it in the future.

It is possible that it takes them time to think about the right idea how to fix
it.

If they fix it in the wrong way they create other problems that are bigger.
I guess that it is not easy to fix it in the right way but it is not a proof
that it is impossible.

A possible way to try to fix it is to try to change the evaluation function if
the main line and the evaluation of fritz suggest that it has no idea about the
position to start using another engine.

I do not have Fritz6a but I see stupid lines of Fritz5.32
for example:29.Be2 Rc6 30.Bd3 at depth 10 with +0.22 pawns for white.

When Fritz suggests lines when white waste tempo and has an advantage then
it suggests that fritz has no idea about what happens so maybe it should change
the evaluation function.

They simply do not call it Fritz7 but Deep Fritz.

Deep Fritz is supposed to be better than Fritz6 also in cases that you use one
processor.

I am interested to know if Deep fritz has also the draw evaluation in the game
that you posted.

>they can't bring it out. it would lose to gambit-tiger.

I remember that you said that it does 50% against gambittiger when gambittiger
is better only because it is better in beating other programs.

Fritz6a is losing against Gambit but the question is if Deep Fritz is losing
against Gambittiger

Fritz3,4,5 and old Fritz6 were also preprocessors and I understood that they
fixed the problem in Fritz6a so maybe they can also fix other problems in the
future.

The interesting question is what are Deep Fritz's scores at moves 29-35,37-41.
