I was going through an old game of mine on this site with Fritz and came across the following position:
[fen]3rkb1r/1p3p1p/p3p1q1/2pp4/8/2N1P3/PPP2PPP/1R1Q1RK1 b k - 0 14[/fen]
Here, Fritz recommends for black the 14 ...Qxg2
Am I missing something here or is my computer blundering away a queen?

Originally posted by amolv06maybe you set up the position wrong? at least my fritz doesn't suggest Qxg2 at any point...

Here's a link to the game:
Game 3059259
After 7 Be7 fritz suggests the following variation for black
7 ...Nxe5 8.dxe5 Bxb5 9.exf6 gxf6 10. Bxf6 Qxf6 11.Nxb5 Rd8 12.Rb1 a6 13.Nc3 Qg6 14.0-0
At this point the situation looks like this:
After that Fritz finishes the variation with
14....Qxg2+
Originally posted by amolv067.Be7 was not played in the game. 7...Be7 was, but then 7...Nxe5 would be time traveling.

Is it a horizon thing? I mean, if this is the last move Fritz have in its combination, then it is good because he black gets a pawn. (Qxc2 would be as good, also giving a pawn.) But if Fritz thought one ply further, (i.e. over the horizon) then he would realize that it was not good for obvious reasons. Somewhere Fritz stops thinking and that's at its horizon, a number of plies from the present position.
Human thinking has no sharp horizon effect. We think as long we think tit is necessary, we don't stop 17 plies ahead. We see easily that the queen at g2 can be taken, but Fritz can't, because he is at the horizon.
Originally posted by FabianFnasI think Fritz's "horizon" is a bit farther than to not see the loss of it's queen on the very next move.

But that's what "horizon" means. It doesn't look even a single move past that.
I don't know for sure if that's the right explanation, but it makes sense.
It shouldn't take more than a few extra seconds to let it run to the next ply past that. I'm using Crafty and it starts looking at white's 15th move within about 30 seconds (starting at black's 7th move).
Anyway, the engine is designed to do a good job at evaluating the current move, not to perfectly predict moves 7-8 moves out.
Originally posted by incandenzaexactly....he didn't say how long the time was set at, we can assume it's more than enough to get past one ply...a single second would do it. "Horizon" is not a factor. The position must be set up wrong.

Yeah, but he listed the variation where it *didn't* get to the next ply. I'm saying if he looks at the next one he should see the difference. It does take about 30 seconds on my machine, so if you're going through very quickly (maybe you set it to analyze the game at 10 seconds per move or something) then it might not show up.
