Both engines were compared using a big and difficult test suite (Weltmeister-Test; 90 positions of which are 35 king attack, 32 positional and 23 endgame) on Athlon TB 1400, 256 MB hash each: Hiarcs 7.32 Hiarcs 8 (19.5.1999) (15.4.2002) ------------------------- solved 37 solved 48 rating 2615 rating 2647 ------------------------- (Results by M.Meiler, CSS 3/2002) http://www.computerschach.de/test/index.htm All positions are from games of World Chess Champions. Test design by H.J.Schumacher & Dr. M.Gurevich. 15 Minutes per position (which indicates how difficult the test ist, when even under that conditions only ~50% were solved). H8 was much better in the king attack part of the test (+7). Best engine in the WM-Test so far are Fritz 7.0.0.6 and CM8000 "Pillen" with 62 solutions each. People who have Hiarcs 8 and want to do a *quick* comparison - approx. ½ hour necessary in total - can use my Quicktest: 24 positions, 1 minute test time each. It includes results from Hiarcs 7.32 for comparison (P3/700), among others: http://meineseite.i-one.at/PermanentBrain/quick/quicke.htm I'd be interested how H8 does in that test, too.
