Hi all: H8 is in discussion. We curretly have statistics about his perfomance against other programs, my own comments, those of other people, etc. In the middle of that I would like to make clear my point, specially after thinking that even one negative post can do unfair harm. I recall to this day when I wrote a review of MChess 7 or 8 in CCR and after a while I received a bitter email from Martin Hirsh saying to me that it was very bad and sad for him that, after so much work, me, just a fan but with acces to a writting room, with just a bunch of words could imperil his business. I felt really bad. So let me be more specific about H8. a) Anything I have said about this has no more value than the opinion you can have with the still scarce data we have. They are completely uncomplete and more a fleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeting opinion than a solid judgement. b)I know better than nobody that my first succesuful game, when I drawed at will, could be just a strike of luck. You have your good days when you could do a good busines with anybody, any program, etc. c) I am the most interested guy to discover I was fully wrong and that the program deserves every buck I expended on it. I do not see the happynness to buy a mediocre product. d) I do not give to my own commnents more weight that the little they have. I can be totally mistaken, as I have been several times in this and other issues. e) If ever I am questioned about purchasing or not purchasing the product,I would say: purchase, because even if I am right and there are some flaws, surely they will be fixed at moment notice.
