Currently I am running two matches in Hiarcs 7.32 gui.
Hiarcs 6 Fritz6L 1. 25 min ea/game
Hiarcs 4 Fritz6L 1 nunn. 25 min ea/game
I await the real Fritz 6. so cannot compare directly.
Seems at this point to be not real Fritz6 though earlier running 5 min game it
scored well v both F5.32 and H7.32.
Thanks.
