I agree with Terry when he stated that: I think part of Hiarcs 8's problem, if not it's main problem, is that it's a _slow_ searcher and should be tested at slower time controls, such as 40/2hrs. At slower T/C's it should slowly catch up on search as the tree widens at every iteration, which will start to slow up the faster searchers like Fritz or Junior, as Hiarcs 8 like the "proverbial tortoise" over time will reach sufficient depths to compensate for it's weakness, IMO
