I know that Fritz5 is a root processor and the evaluation can changes after
trading queens not because Fritz sees more but because the root position was
changed.

Here is an example:
4r1k1/p5pp/4q3/2Bp4/P1p3n1/2P3PP/2P3Q1/R5K1 b - - 0 1
Fritz played Qe1+ against tiger and only after Rxe1 the evaluation was changed
from 0.06 pawns for black to 0.84 pawns for white and not because Fritz could
see more plies.

Does Fritz6 suffer from the same problem?
