Did you try to play Hiarcs7 against itself and not against weaker opponents?

I believe that white has a better position after Rxb4
and the only question is if black can draw the game.

Junior5.4 chose Rxb4 at depth 19 after looking at 405614Knodes with an
evaluation of 0.47 pawns advantage for white(the previous best move was Qc1 with
evaluation of 0.42 pawns advantage for white).
