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!

I already have the incomplete TB set problem in my WINBOARD FAQ already, as you probably know.. But I don't know if it will remain a problem for long because it seems to me that more and more Winboard [I think the Winboard Edition II engines are immune to this bug also] and probably other chess engines can now avoid this problem.. There are still the Fritz users of course.
