Hiarcs6 changes from c4 into b5 after 29". And in 128" into Nc6
(for Moritz and other materalists, thats 67.68 times faster, although
Hiarcs6 had only 32MB hash).

Cstal 313a switches from c4 into Nc6 (same move Hiarcs6 likes) after
1175" (for Moritz: 1.67 times faster than
fritz5]

MChess7.1  needs 45'24" to find Nc6.

Rebel9 plays b5 after 1'28" (worth 22.30 Moritz)  and changes after
1'45" into Nc6.

I do not ignore facts.  As you can see: fast searchers need more time to
see through the above position. :-)

I am different opinion. Fritz is a nice program. Frans and the ChessBase
team deserve any compliments. But in
chess, it is only weak. I don't think it is number one. And you are
right, their methods don't have my sympathy too.
