What is Hiarcs main line?

Below is an analysis link of Kasparov for this game. He examines the replys Qc4,
which is the game continuation, as well as Rhe8 and Ne4. All are leading to
white wins according to GK and many lines are quite intricate and deep. Does
your method using Hiarcs refute any of these?
