Hiarcs 7.32 Cel 433
1. f3..Qh5....line ends at depth 10/30 after 10 minutes.

Fritz 5.32
1. f3..Qh5....line ends at depth 13/40 after 10 minutes.

Fritz 6
1. f3..Qh5....line ends at depth 14/38 after 10 minutes.

After feeding Hiarcs 7.32 1. Rxc6...bxc6 2. Be2 it evaluates:
2.....Qh3. 3. Nd6 +0.71 after feeding these two moves in it cannot
find many moves it likes for black.

I myself think this type of position is easy for a human to see Rxc6
than for a computer.

Thanks.
