Subject: Re: Huge Bug in Fritz 9 (Engine)

This is a terrible bug.  You can see that even at depth 15 Fritz 9 thinks that
it's slightly behind, instead of assessing the position as totally won. I tried
some other analogous positions and Fritz 9 seems at a loss too.

This bug will be extremely upsetting for correspondence players...

At approximately the same depth, Fruit 2.2, the sceptical program, is very much
aware that it's winning as black:
