I concur with that assessment Jouni, but the programme should have solved that
combination, at longer T/C regardless.

Actually I looked at it half asleep...sort of, it's still early and I'm still
tired and I saw the mistake rather quickly!

I'm surprised even on a so-called _slow_ machine even at G/5 or whatever missed
the tactics of Qxh3??

If I can see the danger quickly in a stupor, then Fritz 7 should under it's
*adverse* situation should have also. Well, IMHO.
