This is a position I from a skittles game that I had had as Black, with Black to
move. 1...f5!! is the winning move. After analysing this position after the
game, I wanted to see just how far away the Black King can be from the action
and still win. I placed the Black King on b6 and found that again, 1...f5 is the
winning move. The position is deceiving. I put this position is Fritz and it
finds 1...f5 pretty fast, but not instantly.
Deep Fritz and Fritz 6 seem to find it faster than Fritz 7a.

I would like to know just how fast the Athlon 2000+ or the Pentium 4 2.2 gig
takes with Fritz 7, to find the winning move.
