Eduard. How did you manage to get Fritz 8 to play 16...b6 or 22...Ne5? My Fritz
8.0.0.5 (same as yours) thinks this:

[D]r1b2rk1/1pp1bp2/p1n1pnBQ/6N1/8/P7/1PP1NqPP/R2K3R b - - 0 1

Analysis by Fritz 8 with 320mb hash:

16...Ne5 17.Bh7+ Kh8 18.Bg6+ Kg8
  =  (0.00)   Depth: 7/13   00:00:00  87kN
16...Ne5 17.Bh7+ Kh8 18.Bg6+ Kg8
  =  (0.00)   Depth: 8/20   00:00:00  161kN
16...Ne5 17.Bh7+ Kh8 18.Bg6+ Kg8
  =  (0.00)   Depth: 9/27   00:00:00  519kN
16...Ne5 17.Bh7+ Kh8 18.Bg6+ Kg8
  =  (0.00)   Depth: 10/29   00:00:01  1218kN
16...Ne5 17.Bh7+ Kh8 18.Bg6+ Kg8
  =  (0.00)   Depth: 11/31   00:00:03  2797kN
16...Ne5 17.Bh7+ Kh8 18.Bg6+ Kg8
  =  (0.00)   Depth: 12/32   00:00:07  6454kN
16...Ne5 17.Bh7+ Kh8 18.Bg6+ Kg8
  =  (0.00)   Depth: 13/42   00:00:15  14656kN
16...Ne5 17.Bh7+ Kh8 18.Bg6+ Kg8
  =  (0.00)   Depth: 14/35   00:00:34  32839kN
16...Ne5 17.Bh7+ Kh8 18.Bg6+ Kg8
  =  (0.00)   Depth: 15/44   00:01:16  74718kN

As you can see it doesn't even consider b6. Fritz 7.0.0.8 does, not Fritz
8.0.0.5.

Now, for 22....Ne5. It considers it for less than 1 second for me, on a P3-600
368kn/s will go by in around 1 second. Surely in a 5 minute blitz game it would
think longer than 1 second. Here is the analysis by Fritz 8.0.0.5.

Any ideas as to why your Fritz 8 plays those moves and mine doesn't would be
appreciated.
