If so, knowledge pay because CST calculate no >more than 3000 and something n/s in the said conditions. I just got my new version 6 of Hiarcs for Mac, and I played the opening against it. Interestingly, I didn't have to set up the position, since it played black's moves exactly through 8. It played the castle, after quite a bit of thought. Then, after 9 Nxc7, it played Nd4, attacking the queen. More interestingly, I then played on with the standard attack (Qh5 etc), and eventually the king side attack won for white. Hiarcs gave me a rating of 3100 after the game. Not bad! (Of course, if I give it more than 10 sec per move, it finds 9... d5 :-)). WW
