I have had Hiarcs 6.0CB play againt SOS at 40mins 40 mins repeat with 40 mins countdown at the end. That comes to 2 hours if all the time is used? SOS has a Celeron 500 128 meg ram Nimzo book. Hiarcs 6 has AMD 450 32 meg ram, and General.ctg As it stands at the moment, SOS v Hiarcs 1-4, 3draws............. I will leave it at least tonight. possibly tommorow? Hiarcs 6 is in my opinion a dam good prog, and if SOS can win more it will show it to be a nice little battler? BTW, I like SOS, I have played it in a couple of games and it wiped me away.
