Hi,

here's a result at slower timecontrols (40/30, Athlon 1050, no
pondering, Arena, Gromit with PocketGrandmaster book, Aristarch with
the book from it's web site):

Aristarch 4.4 - Gromit 3.11.9   10.5 - 10.5

So from my point of view it's definately strong, but I doubt it
will be as good as Shredder, Hiarcs, Junior or Fritz at slow timecontrols.
