Subject: It all depends on parameters!

I checked this position with my Fritz 6, running on a 450 MHz PII with 64 MB
hashtables. As you can see in the first protocol below (captured by
right-clicking the analysis window and selecting "Clip analysis") the program
finds 1.Nxg5 in 2 min. 31 sec. at 11/36 ply.

If I turn up the aggressiveness from zero to two (by clicking the engine name
and using "engine parameters") then the program find the move in 14 seconds at a
depth of 9/32 (second protocol).

If I switch the null-move function off (by using "engine parameters" to set the
selectivity from its default 2 to zero) Fritz doesn't find the move in 14
minutes (protocol 3).
