How funny!  Perhaps Fritz is programmed with the equivalent of "if rook
pawn and wrong color bishop then if queening square can be reached =
draw", but the "if rook pawn" is not invoked correctly because there
is more than one.  With tablebase access this should be a no-brainer,
so I'm not sure what the story is.
