Go up one level in this thread


Hello Jim,

There is a recurring theme in your posts, specifically that engine-engine
matches on one computer is a different animal than games played on 2 comps.
No one seems to want to even address that point. You mention it and it gets
ignored. But I think it is an important point. I see nothing to criticize
in your setups. Your results speak for themselves. In 2-comp games, Hiarcs so
far is not up to the level of the top programs. More games may give a different
impression, but so far the only results that dispute yours seem to be
played on one computer.

As a matter of fact, I remember when Hiarcs 7.32 and Fritz 5.32 first came out.
There were a number of matches posted by various people on this site. I
noted then that H7.32 won over F5.32 convincingly in most engine-engine
matches but that in 2-comp matches the results tended to be very even.

I hope you keep posting your results. I think they are very valuable.

eric
