If there is no threat then fritz simply do not analyze so it cannot see. There are positions other programs can solve in 1 second and fritz cannot solve because it sees the result of 1 move is a draw and cannot see the result of a second move is better because there is no threat in the second move. These positions are not common because fritz does not use null move in king and pawn endgames and when there are queens in the board position with no threat are not common. Uri > >Jouni
