Some engines do more extensions so I expect them to be better. I believe that hiarcs does more extensions so I expect it to be better than Fritz7. Note that I have not hiarcs8 or Fritz7 and I am based on the fact that Fritz7 search clearly deeper based on pgn games and on the fact that there is almost no difference in knowledge between the top engines(one engine may understand better position A when another engine may understand better position B but the total difference is close to 0 and what is important to decide which engine is better is usually tactics). I do not say that tactics is always what decides which engine is better but only that I believe that it is the case with the top engines. Uri
