What concerns me is you have made statements that may indeed hurt the sales of HIARCS 8 thus the programmer Mark Uniacke, however unintentional. Keep testing, but try long T/C's and very fast ones as well. Game 60' seems to not do H8 any justice? Still I can't be certain it wouldn't do better over time? It's still just too early to form any conclusions about H8 at this time. Regardless, it is still a very strong engine, _apparently_ stronger than it's predecessor H7.32, according to early tests on this board. I do suspect that H8 would benefit from very long T/C's on very fast hardware. However it would be nice if Mark Uniacke, would comment at this forum. It might clarify some issues on H8? Terry
