And being that 7.0 maybe be even better than 7.32, or at least, hardly much less good, and it has tied with CT? well! And I thought CT was beggining to look the greatest. And I had been hoping the whole of the past year that something will come out that will be a difference of night and day, to the Hiarcs. I personally am not enough interested in just a difference of a few rating points, even though it may feel like a satisfying result for the programmer. I have always noticed a kind of bug in the analysis function of Hiarcs 7.0. It seems to stop analysing after a time. But I didn't feel it stopped analysing in playing mode (e.g. on infinite).
