*Without* tablebases, Hiarcs 7.32 plays as follows (K6/2-400 MHz):

5k2/2Q5/8/8/5p2/5P2/5P2/K7 w - - 0 1

Hiarcs does not play Qf7+ with the *four*-piece EGTB's:

  +-  (24.41)   depth: 1   00:00:00
  +-  (24.56)   depth: 3/13   00:00:00

1.Kb2 Kg8 2.Kc3 Kh8 3.Kd4 Kg8 4.Ke5
  +-  (#24)   depth: 10/21   00:00:15  1382kN, tb=542
  +-  (#6)   depth: 10/23   00:00:16  1526kN, tb=578
