Sounds entirely possible, and even likely, considering that almost all the games posted are engine vs. engine. Except that Taylor, who also got a result that Faber says is not in Hiarcs' book (1.e4 c5 2.Nf3 e6 3.d4 cxd4 4.Nxd4 Qc7?!) was testing on two separate machines (vs. Genius 3), so why would he use another Chessbase engine's GUI? But if the test above shows Hiarcs plays 2...c5 under its own GUI, maybe this means that for dual engine matches, Hiarcs must always be the "home team", and the challenger must visit under Hiarcs' GUI.
