I don't particularly like the "mine is bigger than yours" arguments. In this case there is not data to support the claim. Info from ICC: from your history, you have 2 wins 3 losses against moonshot (a crafty clone), 2 wins, 1 draw and 2 losses against crafty ierself, 1 loss against singacrafty. to pick out but 3 opponents. While I don't doubt Hiarcs is a good program, your results don't support the "significantly stronger" comment. Other data might indicate this for all I know, but comparing results and ratings on ICC doesn't do it... Just an observation...
