Hiarcs 7.32 is enjoyable because it gives character to the games it plays, often trying to take the initiative. Weather it succeeds or goes down in flames, it is worth the money :) To watch it outmaneouver its opponent by subtle means before the final destruction can be a joy. It is also tactically very strong. I don't own other commercials, but from what I have seen on this board, many of the others are more casual and some are stronger. Personally I will probably buy the next version of Hiarcs, whatever it will be called, unless it gets unfavourable reviews. So, if you want some fun, either by playing against it yourself, or watching it take on other programs, Hiarcs can't be the wrong choise. But you seem to have an opinion already? Well, listen to other people as well... Ralf
