He played many games against all possible opponents and tried to prepare Chess Tiger for them. Also the game against Hiarcs 7, opened with 1.c3 was an attempt to crush Hiarcs. After the first move Marcus came to me and told me, that Alwin Gruber, the operator of Hiarcs did not know, he failed a mate in 21! Hiarcs has two moves for black. 1...e5 and 1...d5. On the played move, Marcus didn't prepare anything; but forward to the other possibility, there would have been a spectacular win for Chess Tiger. But this is nothing to his behavior in the tournament: Marcus always is fighting as playing himself for his life. He suffers like the programmer himself... Karsten
