No! That is not correct!

Only the Fritz 7 (with MMX) engine produces outright analysis blunders, based on
my long experience of many years, running many different engines then
scrutinizing the analysis carefully.

True, analysis is less accurate the deeper you go, but there should be no
outright blunders. Even at the end of the line, although the moves may be weak,
they should not be stupid blunders such as giving away one's Queen.

Again, I have not seen such serious analysis faults (genuine, outright
blunders!) with any other engine in the last few years. None of them have ever
given away their Queen, or overlooked taking opponent's Queen, in my experience
to date -- except the new Fritz 7 (with MMX) engine!?
