A game between Nimzo2000 and Hiarcs7, in tourmanent level,in K6-400.
It was placed here, in the CCC, for Marcus Kaestner. I am interested in
two positions of this game, below I place those positions with
some tests and comments.  The tests had been made in a PII-300,
HT=32Mb(HT=40Mb for Rebel10.0c and System Tiger), with 270(180*1.5)
seconds for each move.

First Position: 15....?
r3k2r/pp3ppp/5n2/1qppN3/8/2PQP3/PP3PPP/R3K2R b - -
In this position Fritz versions 1.2, 3.1, 4.01 and 5.00 , Crafty16.6
and CometB00, as Fritz5.32 engines, Fritz5.32, Rebel10.c, System
Tiger and Genius6, don't play 15....Qxb2?!, that was played by
Hiarcs7.

Second position:16....?
r3k2r/pp3ppp/5n2/2ppN3/8/2PQP3/Pq3PPP/1R2K2R b - -
Here, Fritz5.32, Rebel10.0c, System Tiger and Genius6, play 16....c4,
the only move to continue the game. Hiarcs7 plays 16....Qa3?

I know that a game is very little to arrive at some conclusion,
but it's curious to observe as a strong program as Hiarcs7,
considered positional, commits first an positional error
(15....Qxb2?!)  and soon to follow, plays a bad move
(16....Qa3?).

Regards,

Paulo Soares, from Brazil.
