Hi Bob, I can do that also...I did try to see if Hiarcs7.0 would replay the same
moves. It would not replay the moves as SSDF Hiarcs7 played. I did let Hiarcs7
play out the position at 10 sec a move then at 2 min a move to see if it had
trouble winning...It did not at any time control. He is self play at 2 min a
move. As of now it seems that SSDF hiarcs7 had somekind of malfuction, and its
rating my be a bit better then what SSDF has listed if this problem happens in
other endgames.
