Fritz 5 will, but it often has trouble deciding which moves a human would
consider as maybe reasonable. For instance, if a side is losing, it will often
say stuff like "QxP PxQ does not reduce the pressure.", when QxP is ridiculous
because even if it did reduce the pressure, you would be a queen down. ;)
