If Fritz returns 0.00 on this, it's right. If it does it in 47 plies, you can't just immediately declare that it is a bug, perhaps he is doing something tricky to know the truth, or is using a heuristic that worked. It shouldn't be discounted as a bug, rather, if you are interested, it should be studied. bruce
