Its not about long time control, if its about not searching the same depth as it opponent, then I dont see how Hiarcs will achieve it even on the most fastest hadware with the same tme control, beacause Hiarcs in almost all occasions got outsearched by Fritz, hiarcs is just too slow. But I dont think this is a prblem, because according to the author Hiarcs is a knowledge based program, so I am assuming that it doesnt necessarily need to search deep enough to "understand' any position, unlike most search-based program. Finally I want to note that Hiarcs is "not" a dissapointment for me, because I didnt have high expectation with it, unlike most others. As a chess program collector, i am just happy to have it ;) regards, pavs
