That is neither the problem nor the exercise. The problem is that after 1.Nxe6
black=Hiarcs7.32 would play 1...Rxc4?? for some seconds and doesn't find 1...f6.
Just jumping from Nb6 to h5 and some other strange moves.

Regarding to my last posting I can't reproduce 1...f6 any more!?! What is that?
Even disabling learning and deleting the learn file doesn't help. Hiarcs now
starts with 1...Rxc4. Strange, very strange.
