Consider this, on a pent 200 the list >states that hiarcs6 is only 2417, yet the same program on that hardware defeated >2495 dean hergott in a six game match!! Yes, Dean Hergott at the time did not have a copy of Hiarcs to play and practice with. Also computers chess at the time was not taken as seriously as it now. The other explanation is that Dean Hergott was not aware of any anti-computer strategy, or, he played he's usual style because he did not believe that the computer was a serious threat. Result he lost to Hiarcs 6 on a Pentium 200. If you look at the games, the games were not closed, locked up positions, no anti-computer strategy was used. Laurence
