I recently played a game on FICS against Vippcomputers. Here is the game: Fritz 6 - PC [B81] (2), 21.03.2001 [-0.41] 64MB, book.ctg.

Something has gone wrong, either with Fritz reading the TB's, or the TB's themselves. Had Fritz just simply advanced the pawn, promoting it, then it was a simple win most 1500 player could handle. But for some reason, it wanted to chase the king around! The first thing I did, was do a scandisk and check for any corrupted TB files. There are none. Then I compared my 5 piece TB size to Hyatts on his server. They are both the same. So I would venture to say, either Fritz had a problem reading it, or the KRPKR file is corrupt. (However I think Hyatt would have caught it by now.) I have had several positions, where I look @ the board, and say, "I COULD MATE THIS!" and Fritz draws. WHY? I was just curious if anyone else had the problem, and if anyone knew what the problem was. Thanks, Slate Also, if you look from #43 to #17 (the second one) the depth is always 1. However, then it starts seeing depth 5! With TB's (usually) it documents 1 ply only!!
