The problem with Fritz is that Fritz is a root processor so it can do mistakes because it does not see clearly the position Fritz is also a null mover and there are positions that it cannot find the right move because of this problem. Fritz5.32 lost to Rebel 1.5:.5 in 1 hour per move games Fritz did strange positional blunders like Ra8,Nb8 that it does not do at tournament time control. It is not clear if time is productive for Fritz and it is better to use another program for correspondence games if you are going to use it 24 hours for every position. humans who play in correspondence chess usually use programs to check different ideas of themselves and of the programs and not to analyze a position for a very long time.
