My endgame evaluator isn't *that* great, but it just needs 8 ply
to see what deep fritz probabl doesn't see the first 16 plies.

Searching deeper is always cheap to say, junior is winning all those games
because even a preprocessor with some knowledge is better as a
non-preprocessor without any king safety!

Deep Fritz beats shredder bigtime though, so i guess it's tuned for
shredder too much!
