I agree. The available tournament book is a major embarrassment, as I have
stated before on this podium. I have generated my own book for Hiarcs 8 with
2400+ games and imported a selection of recent 2550+ games to establish the
tournament moves. This book is still being tested, but after more than 2000
games Hiarcs is allmost on par with Fritz 7 and Frit7.ctg (trailing less than 30
elo points).
