Most times online when I am using Hiarcs and I am playing Shredder 8, I
_usually_ come out on top. Most people install the cd, change the hash table
size, and to play somewhere. I have done _extensive_ book work. I have no lines
specifically targetted towards one particular program, I just have very solid
lines, and some extremely good gambits.

It is a rare case for me to come out of book down.
