Here Hiarcs7.32 NEVER considers 1...Rxc4?? From D=2/14 up to 9/27 within 6 min ALWAYS 1...f6 shown. Ah! Now I see: my observation is in analysis mode while yours is in playmode! In play mode Hiarcs indeed shows the surprising move 1...Rxc4 and changes after 52sec (P2-350) to fxe6 but with -10.34 and then to h7-h5 -10.14. This reminds me on antother position with similar strange differences between analysis and play mode. Astonishing tha such a behaviour doesn't harm Hiarcs' play more. I would really like to hear Bobs and especially Marks explanations to that. >1nr3k1/1q1nbppp/p3p3/8/2RNP1N1/1P2QPP1/1B4KP/8 w - - 0 1 > >Laurence
