For this reason I do not think that increasing significantly (for instance doubling) the time of a game would make a big difference for the strength of the program. The test against Shredder 7.04 was made at 120/40, etc. Only time and some hundred games played with Hiarcs 9 will tell us its real strength. But, by now, what a good feeling!.
