I have found that Fritz 8 (8.0.0.8 and 8.0.0.23)has trouble solving some positions that other engines solve in a matter of seconds. Such is the case with the recent position: [D]8/8/K6p/6p1/8/8/k5PP/8 w Of course Tablebases are needed to find the mate in 29, which is the case with Ruffian, Yace and Crafty 19.06. Hiarcs finds it in 30. Fritz 8.0.0.8 did not find it at all as yet. Fritz 8.0.0.23 just found it as I am sending this post after 00:08:26, but it shows mate in 31 instead. Once Fritz 8 finds a mate, it seems to end it's search whereas, some other engines continue to search and find quicker mates. Any and all opinions welcomed. Brian
