My opinion is that Fritz simply suspected the tactics for positional reasons.

In theory every positional knowledge is tactics if you search deep enough.
I agree that there are cases when the tactics is so deep that practically search
is not going to find it.

I also agree that in the relevant cases it is also possible to see things for
tactical reasons but I do not believe that Fritz saw it for tactical reasons in
1 minute for game on A1000.

I did not install Fritz8 on the computer that I use now so I will be able to
check fritz8's evaluation at small depthes only later.
