We will have wait and see what the outcome is in June. I think that a mistake that humans make is to assume that a position that we have come to know as "won" may in fact not be a "win", and vice-versa. I don't want to overstate the case, but Hiarcs 7 has strengths that will hold it in good stead for this match, notwitstanding your concerns. Primarily, Hiarcs 7 knows a lot more about opening positions than it did before. Regards, Matt Frank
