I only played a few games with CSTal-2 at blitz (G/5) time controls. Against Hiarcs 7.32 the score was Hiarcs 7.32 won 14-1 with CSTal-2 getting only 2 draws in 15 games. CSTal-2 is so bad at blitz it's not worth taking the time to run the games. It is much worse at blitz and even worse still at "Bullet". By the way, Hiarcs is the "King" of Bullet in all my testing. It beat Junior 74-50 and beat Fritz by a similiar score. These were game / 1 minute. I don't know why people insist on calling Hiarcs a "slow searcher". It finds good moves very fast. Jim Walker
