I believe that the reason for Junior is that it is not easy to fix it and be sure that you do not generate other bugs but I do not think that it is impossible to do it. I believe that in most cases professional do not work harder than the amaturs. > >>There are positions when Fritz cannot see simple mate because of null move >>pruning. > >I'm sure Frans Morsch is well aware of that too. Yes but he does nothing to fix it and it does more mistakes than other programs because of null move pruning. I see no reason to use null move pruning after the first move of the pv but this is exactly what Fritz does. I already posted the analysis when Fritz finds the right move Nc6 that is winning(white is in zunzwang) but the score drop every iteration because it does not want to analyze a move that threats nothing. Here is the relevant position again [D]1n6/1P6/8/2P5/p3kp1p/6p1/1P4K1/4N3 b - - 0 1 This position can happen in games Deep Fritz(black) played against Junior7(White). Junior7 already saw a score of 11.40 against itself when it played 54.c5 but Deep fritz blundered because of pruning the line that it wanted to play. I remember from analyzing another study that this kind of behaviour is in Fritz for years (Fritz3,Fritz4,Fritz5) and I wonder why Fritz insist to use null move in the wrong way(I do not know about Deep Fritz7 and this analysis is with the first Deep Fritz that came after fritz6) Here is the game it is taken from copied from Deep Fritz's Gui(if you look in the line that is not the main line you can see 54.c5 and the horrible blunder that Deep Fritz did in the game).
