Subject: Could you try a brief experiment with Hiarcs 8?

Hi --

This is in reference to some issues about the book, particularly a recent post
by Harald Faber. I had seen a game posted (at game in 30 minutes) where Hiarcs
as Black played 1.e4 e6 2.Qe2 Nc6 3.Nf3 Be7? Faber says that when he looks at
the Hiarcs book (I think he's just using the Chessbase GUI function), it says
Hiarcs will always play 2...c5. For this purpose, the time control and system
speed are unimportant, just try playing an actual game from the position after
White's second move, and see if it immediately responds with 2...c5. If so, I
suppose the game I saw posted was played with a different book, or is spurious.
If not, then the program is not understanding its own book correctly.
Thanks in advance, if you have the time for this.

Regards,
Vine Smith
