I think that Fritz >actually stops analyzing after finding a mate but can't prove it because Fritz >doesn't display its thinking nodes like M-Chess Pro. It is clear that it stops to analyze after finding a mate or after finishing the iteration when it finds mate. I suspect that you can prove it by task manager that is going to tell you that Fritz does not use cpu time. This is logical because the programmer does not need to care about new bugs and if the programmer is not a very good programmer(in the ability to implement ideas without bugs) then he may prefer not to care about this problem. Maybe the programmer of Fritz(Frans morsch) is simply inferior programmer relative to other programmers in that meaning. I guess that Frans had no reason not to fix the problem in case that he believes that it is a job with expected time of one hour for him. Uri
