In the first round of CCT4 IsiChess had black againts Hiarcs8X. I operated
IsiChess manuelly by myself.

In this position, short after Bookline was finished and both programs had to
calculate, Hiarcs8X played 22.Rxd7 instead of 22.Nd4.

[D] 2kr1b2/3b1p2/p3pPr1/1Nn1q3/7Q/2N5/PPP4P/2KR1B1R w - -

I was very confused an nervous - Isis score immediatly went to +2..3. Is there a
trap? What's going on here? But a few moves later Hiarcs8X operator saw that
something went wrong on his Board - there was stil a Black Bishop on d7 on his
Board. Obviously there was an interface problem. A wrong 22.move was posted by
Hiracs8x.

After asking folgers and deepFritz, what to do, i offered to replay from move
22. But there were already discussions in the Channel Forum - so Hiarcs8x
Operator decited to resign due to possible later protests.

I felt shamed about the circumstances, IsiChess won the game, specially not
asking my opponent directly after 22.Rxd7, "do you really want to play this
move?".
