Subject: Just a small question about chess program logic

[D]8/6p1/5pk1/8/2r5/4PP1P/R1p3PK/8 w - - 0 47
Pocket ChessPartner v1.0 - CENTURY 4.0

Here Century pondered 47. Ra1 c1Q 48. Rxc1 for it's white opponent instead of
47. Rxc2 Rxc2.

I wonder why: is it because Century might think (in a twisted computer chess
way) "swapping a rook for a queen is more valuable than swapping a rook for a
pawn", or because it pondered the chance that black makes a mistake, doesn't
promote, and white can play Rc1, disabling promotion for the time being?

Just a small question about computer chess progam logic (I hope).

Thanks.

J.
