I think the last of these may be misleading. Crafty, on my machine,
likes Rxf5 instantly ("at 0 seconds"), but then switches to Rfd1
a little later, and only at 50 seconds and 8 ply does it decide that
Rxf5 is best after all. It seems unlikely to me that Hiarcs, "at 1 ply",
has really seen enough of what will follow to say that it's "found"
the move. Even if it doesn't prefer other moves when it thinks for
longer.
