Well... I have only 2 machines, but I have over 100 games played between Fritz 5 and Hiarcs 6. Plus many others played by F5 against several opponents. >With enough time Hiarcs overtakes Fritz. >Or overtakes Genius. I think so too, as I said before. H6 should win, like Rebel 9, Not by much, though. >This was the same 1993 and the problem has not changed much. Here I disagree. The problem is very different now. Fritz 3 and Fritz 5 are different animals. F5 knows much more. >All you measure is - what you said yourself - that Hiarcs is not coming >deep enough.

We'll see nothing really. 11 rounds won't prove much one way or another. 500 games per program played by SSDF mean much more. In there F5 will not be so far from top. 50 points at the most if it runs with enough RAM. Enrique
