If the line is worth +5 or not is not so important. My analysis that f4 wins was
from a human point of view. Do you realize that after f5 and exchanging the e6
pawn the rook on e7 is lost, an important black pieces that could defend against
mate on g7 or h7? And I agree Rdd3 wins as easily.

My point was that Hiarcs gives already +3 without calculating a node.
And I think it is right, blacks position is hopeless. But I'm sure there are
similar position where Hiarcs could be dead wrong with this kind of static
evaluation.
