I think that it is a bad idea to use Fritz7 here.

Fritz is known for years to use wrong null move pruning and it is clear that
zunzwang may happen in that position.

I prefer yace that does not use wrong null move pruning.
It is using null move pruning but it is also going to see a zunzwang if it is
close to the root.

Deep Fritz has no problem to see a winning score after Kd5 so I guess that
there is no problem of null move pruning but you cannot know it before analyzing
so it is better not to use Fritz.

You can use Fritz in the middle game when the practical probability for wrong
null move pruning is close to 0.
