Thanks for posting that.
My program prefers to play Rab8 with a score of about +.14 for white.

Alternatively if I play Rxc4 and search from there, the score slowly drops.
After a couple of hours it is +0.44 for white.  It would be interesting to know
what Junior's score was when playing this move, and what its score for Rab8 was.

cheers,
Peter
