Hi Charles,
see opponents pasted from SSDF list at bottom of my ranting,

Hiarcs was kicking all, mainly 200's I might add, until that bloody Tigger came
bouncing in, & beat up on Hiarcs 26-16!

The difference between 2644(N99) & 2636(H732) is very little when the margins of
error is +/- 50.

Wait until Nimzo99 has played 42 games against Tigger & we'll see the results.

Hiarcs, as a positional player may do better against humans than other programs.

I think Hiarcs7.32 is worthy of 2nd placing, and having played more games than
any of the other top programmes against Tigger has taken this place away from
it.  I certainly don't complain in saying this, and I always look foreward to
the next list when more games are played.  By then there will be F6's, J6's etc,
so H7.32 has missed it's chance.

All that said, as an outspoken Hiarcs fan, I admit, given the machines they have
used, and the games they have played, Hiarcs 7.32 is now way down to 5th,
including being under Nimzo99.

So, what't the news on Hiarcs 8?

Hi guys,
Tina Long
