Subject: Question about computer chess evaluation.

Hello,

I am new here, but I read a little about chess software before. My question has
to do with programs ability to tell if the position is slow (closed pawn mid
game, technical endgame with "waiting" moves etc.) or sharp (open positions of
king's gambit, fried liver etc.). Now pruning and other move filters that work
well in some positions will not work well in others. So, reason I bring this up
is my Fritz 8 has these settings and to me it looks like they are constant
through the game, opening to endgame. Can programs adjust these to suit the need
of the position, and if not why not? Of course there are special cases and
special cases of special cases, but still it might be a good try to improve
play.
