I gone over the first game move for move and on Move #17...axb4(-.20) my Hiarcs
chooses for black on move #17...Ne7(-.42).Plus i agree that it was ended too
early because there were rooks and minor pieces plus black pawns for some
compensation for the piece. I feel it's a tough enough position to make a
program prove itself! I played with Hiarcs on both sides and Hiarcs was able to
win from the white side! All pawns are off the board except white's f-pawn that
wins the game for white. The question is, can CSTal2.03 win in this position?
