About this position. Fritz 5.32 can't find this mate in three. Fritz 6 can find
it in time mode, but not in analyze mode. In my opinion that is an ugly bug.

Then somebody says that it is a null-move problem. Then no more with that. When
it is a null-move problem is seems as it is acceptable in the world of
chesscomputers and no more to add. In my opinion it is still very ugly that a
modern chesscomputer can't find a mate in three.

I think that it is done before, but can somebody explain this mystical null-move
so also an amateur understands? I think it is some kind of holy magic power that
you must not heckle.
