The evaluation function of fritz5 was:
6.09 9/18
 5.78 10/20
 5.47 11/22
 5.16 12/25
 4.84 13/25
4.53 14/28
4.22 15/30
3.91 16/32
3.59 17/34
3.28 18/36
2.97 19/38
I think this is something like 9-0.31*d when d is the depth of bruth
force
maybe fritz5 do some average between its evaluation by brute force
and the eveluation of not brute force and use the depth.
fritz4 and fritz3 have similiar bug fritz3 go almost to 0 but then go
back
in depth 16 it's evaluation is 0.13 and in depth 17 is 0.44 (in depth 15
0.44
and in depth 14 0.75)
