Uri,

  Thank you for the explaination. Even though I visually recognize the mistake
it is nice to begin to understand why it happens.

  I am not sure about "special search algorithm for analysis is not important".
However I believe many people purchase Fritz for analysis and I see it as an
ugly mark on professional grade software. Crafty (19.03 CB), Shredder7 (CB), and
Yace Paderborn (UCI) apparently handle it better. A tribute to those authors,
whether it was intentional or byproduct.

Continued success on your engine but don't forget the Chess, that is why I
always liked your post :) BK
