OK, well, here's one position that comes to mind. White can win it, but it's not
easy to find the method. Shredder can't find it. Fritz can. Don't expect to find
it quickly nor with ordinary analysis. I only use infinite analysis mode
calculating the best move for several hours. Even so, it will take about 6-8
more moves before the white win becomes clear, even with Fritz - if you select
the correct method.
