Subject: In Defence of Hiarcs 8 two Outstanding Positional games against crafty!

Author: John Reynolds

Date: 12:28:50 05/12/02



  Last night on Icc I was watching CMSlim Play Crafty, I asked the operator what
program he was running and he told me Hiarcs8, to confirm this I went over the
game with My hiarcs8, the same moves were made by my hiarcs confirming the game.
I was extremely impressed by the positional play and Judgment of Hiarcs 8. It
difinitely does not deserve the critisms it is recieving here at CCC. Both of
the games were played at the time control of 60 3 Cmslim was running a 1 GiG
athlon thunderbird, here are the games.
