[D]8/5P2/4K2k/8/1P2p2p/p7/6R1/5r2 b - - 0 55 bm h3 Fritz7 played 56...e3 and lost against Shredder5.32 when 56...h3 is enough for a draw. I believe that Fritz7 lost because it overevaluated passed pawns and evaluated it's passed pawns as more than the white rook. Deep Fritz also needs some minutes to fail low on 56...e3 and I am interested to know if Deep Fritz is faster or slower than Fritz7 in finding 56...h3 Deep Fritz(PIII850,64 mbytes hash with all the 4 piece tablebases and part of the 5 piece tablebases including KR vs KPP) needs depth 19 and 7 minutes and 20 seconds to fail low on 56...e3 It solves the fail low after 9 minutes and 38 seconds with score of 3.81 for white and after 16:28 it changes it's mind to Rf4(probably another losing move). I may try bigger hash because big hash tables may be important in endgames but I doubt if it is going to help here. There are other programs that need 0 seconds to find 56...h3. Uri
