It is interesting to note that the program for the DIAMOND >NOVAG by the same people who wrote the program for Hiarcs. So any >program that cannot beat it, its a weak program, that is why i called it >a refeerence chess standalone, where as i guage other strong chess >programs. ----------------------------- I would not use a stand-alone as a reference computer to gauge other PC programs. The hardware speed of PC’s can be many times faster then a stand-alone model. Just for fun I tested a weak PC program, CM3000 on a P II 300 vs some of the stronger stand-alone models. The results were not pretty for the tabletop computers. So I don’t think your Diamond Novag has a snow balls chance in hell of ever beating Hiarcs 6.
