Hello Jeroen,
I emailed Chessbase/Germany about it.  What is happening is Fritz 6 just stops
playing in some endgames.  I see no pattern to it except it is usually late
endgames and score is mostly drawn.  This happens with sometimes 1.5 to 2
minutes still left on the clock.  It just sits there and will not move even with
the spacebar.  So far all I've played is Game/5 minutes (auto232) but it
happened in the engine/engine games also.  Instead of having a score like 1-0 or
1/2-1/2 it will show a +- or = sign in the database in the engine/engine games.
I have not seen this when running it under Fritz 5.32 GUI.
