In a game between Fritz 8 and a custom personality of mine for CM9000, the following position arose in a 15/10 game: [D] 5Q2/8/2p4k/1p1pP3/8/6KP/8/q7 b - - 0 45 Black here should easily draw with ... Kh7. Fritz 8 thinks for almost 30 seconds on my Athlon 700 MHz machine and plays ... Kh5 and scores the position as 0.00 expecting a draw. CM9000 immediately shows evals nearly one pawn in its favor and after a few more moves, Fritz shows an eval of more than 4 pawns in White's favor. Curious that Fritz would err so greatly in a simple position. Is it a bug or is it explainable some other way? Here is the entire game for those that may think the game history and draw detection may have something of a role in this 15/10 game: [Event ""] [Site ""] [Date "2-15-2003"] [Round ""] [White "CM9000 Junior3 500MHz 32MB hash"] [Black "Fritz 8 700MHz 128MB hash"] [Result "1-0"] 1. e4 e5 2.
