I most of the make my verdict about a program myself no mather what anyone says Or what the performance is against other programs Then again this is not for everybody An other reason why I would buy a program is if it shows anything new. Rebel and Junior most of the time don't disapoint me in this I can't say to much about Fritz7 but Fritz also changed much from style trough the years Though not always to my liking. For me Fritz5.32 was more intresting then Fritz6. At the moment I am intrested in CM9000 I think it might suprise us.(At least Ihope) The same counts for Tiger though I am sure Christophe has a time full of stress now. Hiarcs is just as Rebel a positional program though I think Rebel has a litle more tactical understanding. Especialy in the positional moves it finds to increase an attack By this Rebel and Tiger still are the top(Espacialy after you create some good personeletys). Though i think it still is to materialstic. But If a program finds a solution no other program or human would think of And it is good. Then it contributes something intresting especialy if it can increase a attack step by step or a deep positional plan. This would be for me the reason to buy a program like for instance Hiarcs8.
