Hiarcs 8 is obviously being out-searched in depth and then loses to tactics against programs, but wouldn't run into the same problems near as much against humans because they are on average not as tacticaly sharp! The programer claims more knowledge was programed into it and even though there are improvements made to it's search depth which is now faster than it's brother Hiarcs 7.32, it obviously isn't good enough! Perhaps just a little too much knowledge was programed into it to compete against the top programs, but this is great if it will play better against humans.(this is uncertain) I personally like "Rebel" for it's type of play against humans and would rather see "Hiarcs" go in this direction rather than than the other. Just my opinion! Thanks for the games and all of your efforts! I really enjoy the Tournaments. Best Regards, Terry
