It thought for 1 minute and said best the White move is Nxe5 (0,69).

I turned off the computer, turn it back on again,
entered the same position into Fritz 6, let it 'think' for 1 minute
only this time it said the be ...[text shortened]... ed the Fritz settings.

How did this happen?

(There is a perfectly logical explanantion.)

Fritz´s settings reset when you reset your computer so you had changed its settings.

Or stuff got cleaned/updated when you reset changing the amount of processing power fritz had to look deeply enough into the lines.

Guesses

Nobody has got it correct so far.

Clue 1

Here is the position I entered the 2nd time.
What is the difference?

fxe5 isn't possible. Did it actually say that or should it be exf5?

This is not a trick - there is a logical answer.

one is white to move, the other is black to move.

I'm assuming you meant exf5 was the best move the second time. The only thing I can think of is that in one position both sides can castle and in the other one side or the other or both can't castle (perhaps they have thrown in Ke1-e2, Ke8-e7, Ke2-e1, Ke7-e8 at some stage).

I've corrected the 1st part it was 3.exf5 (my mistake).

Fat Lady is a winner.

The second time I did this.
