It still makes no sense to me why you would do this.

 Hiarcs then selected Rf1. I again let Hiarcs replay the move

My Hiarcs 7.32 still likes a4 with a nice + score.

My programs still plays a4....Show us the line you are talking about that
dropped hiarcs 7 score to a minus after the move a4.

No you do not...you reject what I said about the position out of hand. You have
given nothing back to this discussion. Here is your reply

"For me to go back to that game and analyze
the position would be very time consuming. If you set up the position before a4
and let Hiarcs select a move, see what it plays and notice the score by HIarcs
while waiting for a reply. Next, have Hiarcs replay the move and see WHAT move
Hiarcs selects. That should solve the issue. If a4 was not a bad move, why would
it keep playing Rf1 instead???"

Well I did what you ask...and Hiarcs still plays a4. I took the time and
analyzed the position...something you were not will to do. I even let other
programs take the stronger side "in your opinion" to see if they could bust the
move a4 of Hiarcs 7.32 which you claim is weak and a loser. I showed the game
results and my reasoning about the position. In turn you have given nothing
back, and in turn just stick to your claim that a4 is an example of hiarcs 7.32
weak play and and by this shows proof that Hiarcs 7.32 is a weak program.

My Hiarcs 7.32 still plays a4.
