It seems that hiarcs blundered in the first move out of book.
I believe that 14...Qa5 is the right move but I did not give my programs a long
tiem to analyze.
I believe that most programs have better positional understanding than Hiarcs8
and they know that a piece is clearly more important than 2 pawns something that
hiarcs does not seem to know here based on it's evaluation.
Fritz7 proves again that nodes per second mean nothing and shows better
positional understanding than Hiarcs8.
