Just because it did not play d3 on your amd chip does not mean it could not be
the chip. If this is a problem with the chip, or the autoplayer or something
else and it happens at random it will be hard to track down. d3 is such a clear
blunder it is hard to put this move on Hiarcs 7.32.

It was only a guess on my part about it being the amd chip. and this is because
I have not seen this type of play from hiarcs running on my intel chips. And
most of these bad moves I can not reproduce have been played by Hiarcs it seem
on a AMD chip.
