This looks to be a bogus test, >all the moves look like >a draw. Here is what Fritz is showing so far. There is no special winning line. Did you read my posting below? 1.gxh5 gives a *dead draw" 0.00 - wrong colored bishop, while other continuations *keep the chances*. Maybe you should try Crafty. Watch it's evaluation after gxh5 Nxf4. Fritz6 obviously doesn't understand it; he seems to "forget" Nxf4 after ply 15 and eventually switches back to gxh5 with evaluations >+0.5 in your results. I'm sorry if this doesn't suit everyones taste; but it is good for testing this special endgame knowledge. Some programs have it only in elementary positions, like Fischer - Keres Zürich, 1959 [D]8/6k1/8/6K1/4bPB1/7P/8/8 w - - 0 69 NOT 69.f5? [69.h4 was played in the game] 69...Bxf5 is a draw for the same reason as above. Most programs choose 69...Bxf5 immediatly (they should do it without TB's also). Regards, M.Scheidl
