I am currently running a matches between Hiarcs732 vs. 8.0, using Powerbook2001
(power.ctg) for both engines at 3'/game on one computer, and 2'+10"/game on
another. So far, it is pretty even at 3' time (130 games so far), but at 2' 10"
control, Hiarcs8 has a much wider margin of wins! I will post the results later,
after 200 games are played.
