If so, which? It could be that Mark's copy is ____________ Hello Dave, I did not respond to a4 because I saw the score drop from a plus to a minus and decided to let Hiarcs replay the move - I was curious because a4 appeared to be a bad move as the score indicated. When replaying the move, Hiarcs selected Rf1 with a plus score. I then let it replay the move once again and again it selected Rf1 again with a plus score. I decided to let the game continue with Rf1. Apparently the learning function prohibited it from playing a4 again because it was a bad move. Otherwise, what could possibly be the explanation?
