Tell me, have you tried it with any of its settings changed? The other day, out
of curiousity, I set the style to aggressive, and let it play against
Shredder-PB in 10 minute games on my laptop (Celeron 550) with the Nunn2 set.
After 20 games (I needed the machine) I stopped it though Hiarcs was ahead by
one. I chose Shredder deliberately as it was the program that had given Hiarcs
the most trouble in the SSDF matches. Another setting I was intrigued by was the
'hypermodern' option. In any case, I thought it might be interesting to test
them and see how it goes. I'd be especially curious at slower TCs.
