I do not agree that it has much bigger understanding at all stages of a game.
It is dependent in the position.
It is possible that this is the case in your games.

Fritz's main problem is that it is a root processor and sometimes the evaluation
is changed drastically after trading queens not because of the fact that it sees
more and this does not happen to hiarcs.

I think that chessbase should release an option for Fritz when Fritz is not a
root processor and do not care about doing it slower because they do not have to
use this option for comp-comp games.
