Subject: Hiarcs 8 is NOT a disappointment as some have reported

In reality Hiarcs 8 should be more on a par with other Chessbase engines than
the previous version 7.32. It searches well enough when matched at standard time
control, and it could even end up on top of the SSDF rating list. Some people
when they get their new program begin to test them on fast time control and
expect all the programs to perform as well as Fritz, but if you want to get a
better estimate of a new program, then you must test it using the same time
control as the SSDF, and you should be using a computer similar to the one used
by the SSDF. At this moment I'm using an AMD Athlon 1.2 Ghz and I started
testing HIARCS 8 against Shredder Paderborn, it is doing just great against the
winner of the previous SSDF rating list.
