You asked personal >opinions and that's what I have given. No test, just my playing. I believe you Fernando. My mood while watching Mchess7 reduces more and more. I have seen bishop-game where Mchess was 27 moves deep in book meanwhile hiarcs computed a while. Now I see c28 vienna game happening and we are in the 32.move and mchess still in book. One game after the other is cooked out somewhere else (sandro necci, or in massive autoplayer-games-merged into many booklines), and I don't see much sense in doing this. WHO can trust that these games, if played under the same conditions as in the original "citchen" , will not result in the same LOSS for hiarcs ? I play 100 games hiarcs6 vs. mcp7 and make an opening book out of the 30 losses of hiarcs6. Now I put these 30 games into a book. When stupid customer or ssdf-guy plays mchess7 vs. hiarcs6 he will get openings beginning in exactly these 30 losses and also some other openings caused by whatever circumstances. I think this helps mchess7 to get a better score at all. And hiarcs gets a weaker one. But hiarcs was released before mcp7, so it cannot defend much. Ok - they all have learning algorithms, but I doubt that these mechanism will always help...not from my experience, what I have seen.
