Thanks for the report Chris. I'm glad it's such a small sample as a F7 +12 -0 =20 (32) would start to get depressing. I take Hiarcs732 and now 8 (as well as CT14 & RebelC4) results against the speedster computer monster F7 with a grain of salt, as like Lyn, I think "it's how a program performs against humans that counts". I also believe (aided by a chunk of wishfull thinking) that Hiarcs and Tigger & Rebel are indeed a whole lot better against humans, relative to Fritz or Junior, than their comp-comp results reflect. I am hoping for great things from Hiarcs8 against Humans. If Kramnik crushes Fritz, I would hope that Hiarcs might somehow get its chance at him. Just musing, Tina Long
