Thank you.
Yes you are right 12 hours/game (all move for one side).

I have also done 2 more match like this (See my webpage link in the original
post). In the first one HLCC-1 Fritz7 won over Shredder6 6 by 4.
In the second one Yace0.99.56 barely won over Shredder6 5.5 by 4.4, IMO the last
game of the serious was a classic, where shredder6 blundered in a drawn position
thus revealing a strange bug.

It is fun as long as the number of games are not too much.

IMO Hiarcs8 is a very interesting engine, and a must have for any chess program
collectors.
