We have tried it out in different time-levels from 5' Blitz to 60/60 and at least 40/120. With enough time Hiarcs overtakes Fritz. Or overtakes Genius. This was the same 1993 and the problem has not changed much. All you measure is - what you said yourself - that Hiarcs is not coming deep enough. Mark has worked a lot on making Hiarcs coming deeper. From my point of view he has done a good job in giving Hiarcs some extra plies. ALL knowledged based chess programs have problem beating fast-search chess programs , but I have never seen a fast-search program leading the SSDF-list ! In the end they have not enough knowledge to survive. But maybe this championship will change it ?? We will see !!
