I do not think that Fritz or Rebel are the best in endgames I think that crafty with tablebases is the best in endgames because when I talk about endgames I think first about simple endgames. Fritz is weak in transition to endgame because it sometimes cannot see the position clearly and the evaluation is changed after trading queens not because Fritz sees more plies. Uri
