Fritz5 is not better in this position it needed more than 80 seconds
to find Ra3 is winning
before that(after 1 minute on my pentium 200MMX) it prefered Re3
It intended to  play Ra3 without seeing it is winning after some
seconds but change its mind

fritz5 cannot find better moves from moves 15 to 24 if I give it 20 minutes per
move
after 29 minutes and 30 seconds it found 20.Ne3 instead of 20.h3
