Too true Uri,
I have noticed that Hiarcs will often move 3 or 4 moves instantly based on what
it has decided in its hash.  This has never hurt it in games against me, but
surely it should stop for a bit of a think by the 3rd or 4th move.

I have noticed that Hiarcs Very quickly finds a good move, and very quickly get
to about ply8 but then it ponders too long & will not get to ply9 or will waste
time getting to ply9.

I wait keenly for news of Hiarcs8!!
