However, the score shows that it believes that >it is "a draw" -- certainly more so than some other engines do. Yes "draw" as in equal score, seems trivial to produce such a score when the position is completely equal in material and there doesn't seem to be any positional advantages an engine might evaluate at +1 pawn, the position is almost symmetrical, so I do not understand fritz. More interesting would be the other position posted with a rook enprise, to see if the engine takes the bait or 'understands' the draw. -S. >jm
