---------------------------------
I disagree with your statement that Hiarcs 8 is much stronger than the new Rebel
against a "human player" but you might be correct if you are basing your
statement that Hiarcs 8 is stronger than Rebel in computer vrs comuter matches!
I believe the new Rebel XP has a better chance to achieve a higher score in a
match against a high rated Grandmaster than Hiarcs 8 has!
My opinion is based on how well Rebel Century 4 scored in several matches
against fairly high rated grandmasters, and the new Rebel XP is even stronger!
