What is the best move here, and can black win? The game history >might be important too, I don't know. Here's the game: XiniX never considers c2 or Rh4. It starts with Kd5 and after 395 seconds (on AMD 333) it switches to a4. It fails high on a4 the next ply (not resolved yet ) so I guess a4 is the winning move (at least +4) if there is one.
