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.
