This happens if you have KRPKR on your harddisk ( which comes with the Fritz CD ) but not the subsets KRQKR , KRBKR et al . The problem is program knows KRPKR with the pawn on b7 is mate in 17 or so ; it also knows promoting the pawn it will be worse than that ( as it can't find this in a TB anymore ) . So this can be healed if you download the missing ones ( if you have enough space on your harddisk ) .
