Here is quote from kasparovchess.com by Mark Uniacke:

"It has been almost three years since Hiarcs 7.32 was released, and although I
have been relatively inactive in the chess computer scene in that time, Hiarcs
has undergone many changes. Perhaps the most striking, to those familiar with
Hiarcs, will be that the program searches 1-3 moves (plies) deeper than its
predecessor at the same time control. This has been achieved through being more
selective in the moves analysed, supplemented with an improved evaluation of
positions. This means that Hiarcs is able to see deeper positional and tactical
ideas, resulting in a significant improvement in chess strength over its
predecessor. Hiarcs still examines many fewer positions per second than its
competitors like Fritz, Junior, Shredder and Tiger, preferring to spend more
time evaluating the positional aspects."
