IT'S NOT FRITZ 8 THAT CAN'T SOLVE THIS PROBLEM, BUT FRITZ 8 + HARDWARE.

In my PIV 1500 MHz with 48 MiB hash tables and all 3-4 and some
5 piece endgame tablebases Fritz 8.00.8 solves this in 3:19 minutes.
In a newer PIV 2.4 GHz and up or in a "super" hardware like that played with
Kramnik, solution time will be much lower.
