Ooopss.... Sorry I've also made a terrrible mistake, Fischer was Spassky's opponent. Yet, I believe that the position starting from move 29 is not an easy win for White, one has to remember that White's bishop is the wrong bishop and it would be interesting to see if any chess engine could win against Shredder in this position. Well getting back to the question, Hiarcs 7.32 retains its hashtable, and keeps the evaluation when it performs a backward analysis of the position. Therefore, you should consider buying Hiarcs 7.32 as an engine to analyse your games. I tested this position with Hiarcs 7.32 and Hiarcs 7.32 kept the same evaluation.
