I have just finished 22 games of Hiarcs 8 vs Fritz 7 @ G/5. The score was 15-7 in favor of Fritz 7. This is running very close to what I'm getting at G/60. Yes more games are needed and if the auto232 would have kept playing last night I would have many more games. I ran Hiarcs 8 in the Hiarcs 8 GUI so there can be no complaints about the GUI used. Jim
