I agree!

>I suspect that the fritz gui claimed draw in other games in the tournament.

In addition the I have notice when playing with Monarch that Fritz will play out
known tablebase victories without involving the engine.  So if Monarch is using
the Fritz GUI and comes to a KBN v K ending it will play it perfectly even
though Monarch cannot use tablesbases and cannot mate with K + B.  To me this
meant that the Fritz GUI should not be used without the permission of Chessbase
and the GUI should have an option to *not* play out endings.

Just my $0.02
