Martin, >aloha! The warmer climate is starting to show ;-) >i just received my fritz 7 copy, and played a couple of blitz (4'+2'') against >it. i tried playing anti-computer, in the sense that i just tried to hold a draw >as white. of course, i didn't succeed :-) >in two games, i took back a move, and managed to draw, but what disturbs me is >the evaluation of fritz in the 2 final positions (which are dead draws): > >[D] 8/4k3/8/p1p3p1/1pP1p1p1/1P2PpP1/P2K1P2/8 w Just tried the easier position with Shredder 6.02 which gives Black +2.2. These type of positions, with a pawn chain, are notoriously tough for computers. The computer is seeing that Black has an extra pawn and they are advanced - assuming that Black can break through the computer is correct. In this situation the assumption is wrong! Regards, Steve
