Enrique,

Would you mind posting your impressions of the pre-alpha Hiracs 8 after you've
had a chance to look at it- for instance, I presume it is still a slow,
knowledge-based searcher but does it still have persistant hash tables and has
the great middlegame of Hiracs 7 been added to the great endgame of Hiracs 7.32
etc.?? Any comments you could make, particularly as a comparison with (say)
Junior 6 (seeing as it just won your fine tournament- thank you for all your
efforts) would be greatly appreciated.

Of course, I fully understand if this is not possible due to some agreement with
Mark himself but in that case, would you mind asking him if he might post some
information on the new version, as I'm sure many would be interested.

Regards,

Nick Cooper
