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. regards, pavs
