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). To ilustrate this "opening book effect": I am in the middle of a 12-round round robin between Hiarcs8, Fritz7, Shredder Paderborn and CMFun (CM8000 variant), 30/0 on a K6/450 but I am using Nunn2 opening positions (alternate colours) rather than opening books (starting from number 10). In other words in round one each program plays every other program from the same starting position, then in round 2 the same positions with colours reversed. Round 3 moves on to a new position etc etc. Current Score: Hiarcs8 16/23 CMFun 12/23 Shredder6 9/23 Fritz7 9/23 * Hiarcs8 6.5-1.5 Fritz7 in their mini-match. * Fritz7 is demolishing Shredder but is losing badly to CMFun. I am astonished by Fritz7's (7.0.0.8) poor performance but can't identify any fault in the settings. Indeed, CMFun is at a disadvantage because the others are using 3/4/some 5 tablebases.
