Hiarcs 8 and Junior 7 are Not Freebies, but at longer time control specially
longer than 60 minutes or 40/40 time control SmarThink doesn't run into time
trouble as it does in 5 minutes + 2 seconds. If you do run a few matches even 6
just to test it at longer time control you will see what I mean, and at longer
time control it is stronger than Ruffian 1.0.1 simply let it run all night and
check it out tomorrow morning.
