Of course.

Yes.

As it happened, on only one move did I take more than about 5 seconds.

Thank you.

Incorrect.  Fruit committed suicide.  After the opening Fritz, Shredder or even
Junior would have created confusion and some attempt at counterplay.  Fruit let
even a child win there.

As Nalimov 3+4+5 only occupy about 7 Gb storage, you already have your first
answer.

As to which 6-men (attention! "pieces" strictly excludes pawns, so "men" is
better), it makes zero difference to this game.  I downloaded from /hyatt and
since it shut down by file-sharing, and also had computed some.  My collection
is about 25% complete.  I believe ShredderChess have completed or nearly
completed the full set, btw.

Best,
