You are correct!  I had the CD in the drive, but my engine configuration was set
to tactical instead of automatic.  So, the endgame database did not load, and
ironically, the correct move, Kxd1 was played.  With the engine configuration
set to automatic, the program recognizes the Rook, King, Pawn vs. Rook, King
ending, then plays the horrible move Rc5??  I am a very average player in my own
right, and even I would not make such a stupid move.
