Unfortunately, it is not very clear how Fritz differentiates between these
types. I noticed that, running the Louguet suite, even most of the POS subsuite
is considered "Tactical" by Fritz (IIRC only 5/14 are "positional" for Fritz).

I have played some games with T:Fritz P/E:Junior (I called this combination
"ClaireChess" on SCCS) and noticed that either almost the whole game was played
by one engine alone or there was exactly one point where Fritz switched from one
engine to the other and never switched back again.

I think Chessbase will sooner or later have to make this function modular and
programmable because it is still very difficult to decided which positions are
tactical and which aren't.

I have no idea how CSTal 2.50 handles this, but at least there you have a
"chooser.dll" which looks like a modular solution to me.
