Hiarcs 7.32 finds b4 at depth 9/27 after 19 seconds on my Pentium II 350 MHz with an eval of +3.78. At depth 10/30 after 75 seconds, the eval goes up to +4.03. This is its best move. My other old Chessbase programs do not find b4 after 3 minutes of analysis each: Fritz 5.32, Comet B02, Crafty 16.6, and Doctor 3.0 prefer rook moves which they evaluate as winning for White with a +2.xx advantage.
