Since I read many times that Hiarcs7 would not be a Fritz engine I bought Hiarcs6 for Fritz last week. Should have waited. But for the fact that people might buy Hiarcs twice...well when Hiarcs6 first came out I bought the Dos version. So if I get the Hiarcs7.32 I will be buying it 3 times. But that is life! But I do feel all is not well when the powers that be say there will be no Hiarcs7 for Fritz and shortly there after come out with one. But I almost updated to Hiarcs7 for Dos. So perhaps I am ahead on that one. Incidently, I found the Dos version of Hiarcs6 stronger than the version for fritz.
