I know that hiarcs7 is a tactical monster.
It is good at fast time control.

It won Junior5 and Fritz5 at blitz in enrique's tournament.

I am not impressed by the positional understanding of Hiarcs7.
It lost some games against Fritz5.32 because of bad positional understanding.

I hope that junior5 is stronger than Hiarcs7

I have a problem to believe the ssdf list results because most of the games are
not public.

The ssdf tells me that Junior5 lost against Hiarcs7 28.5:11.5 when all the top
programs did better result against it(for example Hiarcs6-Hiarcs7 on P2000MMX
20:20).

I need to see the games to be convinced that the tester really played the games
and did not invent the results.

Junior5 did clearly better results in public games.
