Interesting tournament! > >Regards, >Vine Smith Hiarcs 7.32 at the time it was released, was supposed to have the most amount of knowledge, but since it is paired against totally different programs than those that was available then, it makes little sense to state the following: "This cannot bode well for Hiarcs, which some have claimed has the most positional knowledge of these programs" That claim is "old", and does not apply when the opposition has progressed and Hiarcs 7.32 has not. However i am pretty sure that with the coming of Hiarcs 8, that claim will once again shine bright ;) I agree interesting Tournament! Regards Jonas
