I believe that hiarcs is not outsearch by crafty.
The opposite is correct Hiarcs see big evaluation for white because it
outsearches Crafty inspite of searching less nodes because it knows to extend
the correct lines better.

My Junior5.9 can also outsearch Crafty.

If I give it enough time(about 40 minutes on slow p200) it can see the line
39.Qe7 Qf6 as the main line because it understand that 39.Qe7 e5 is losing by
search.

It is not because Junior searches more nodes per seconds because crafty with the
same number of nodes is not going to see it.

Crafty is simply weaker in tactics relative to Junior in this position.
Crafty cannot see the problem in reasonable time even after 39.Qe7 e5 Rg3 and I
guess that it needs some minutes to fail low in Bob's machine inspite of the
fact that I gave it an advantage of 3 plies relative to Junior.
