can you show examples?
I do not think that Fritz has little positional ability.
I think that the only problem of Fritz is that Fritz is a root proccesor so
sometimes it does a mistake because it cannot see the final position clearly.

I saw cases when Fritz won Hiarcs7 because of poor endgame of Hiarcs7

Fritz5.32 won one game in the ssdf games against Hiarcs7 by impressive
positional sacrifices:
1r4k1/1b1r1ppp/p1p1pn1b/2PpP3/1P1P4/2BB2PP/P1N5/4RRK1 b - - 0 1

Fritz5.32 played 24...Ne4 and sacrificed a pawn and after the moves 25.Bxe4 dxe4
26.Rxe4 Bg5 27.Na3 fritz5.32 sacrificed a second pawn by 27...a5 to get the
bishop at b7 to the game.

The position is probably drawn but Fritz5.32 won the game because it has better
positional understanding(at least in this position) relative to Hiarcs7
