On the FICS server, using Hiarcs 9 (selectivity changed to 4) on a PIV 2.0 Ghz
system I have achieved #1 in standard and #1 in lightning games. I built my own
book (1000% better than the default book, rated in the GUI at 2780 instead of
2550) and I have done it all by playing anyone at any time. In fact the other
night the #2 player was on (cchess(C)), wanted to play a series of 30 3 games
and he played around 8 or so. I came out of it +2 =5 -1:

It was #1 vs #2. cchess is a Shredder 8 bot on a AthlonXP @ 2200 MHz.

Hera is Rebel 12.00.01 on a P4 3.0Ghz system.

You don't have to cheat to attain a high rating, you just have to work harder
than installing a cdrom. :)
