If you want Fritz or any other program to find the best move as fast as possible than you should not give it more than one option. If it has to calculate second best and third best then it has to do more work and becomes slower. Another point is that without knowing your hardware and the number of nodes per second comparison with other programs is meaningless.

The analysis at 30+ minutes gave RD1-G1 (+30.38) a decisive >advantage over moves #2 QA7-C7 (+16.06) and #3 RD1xD7 (+15.34). > >How does your favorite chess program see this position. I guess that chessmaster can see forced mates. Fritz is not the best program in finding forced mate and your positions are unimportant for testing playing strength.
