It may be better than H9 at blitz..I believe it is...use H8 Tour. Book. Maybe it will beat Fritz 8, Shredder 7.04 and Chess Tiger 15. My point was H9 may not be much stronger than H8, certainly not 100 pts. as some have claimed, but Hiarcs 8 Bareev is a very aggressive attacker, and does play more than marginally better than H8 and should also be tested. Remember Tiger 14 and Gambit Tiger 2.0?;They both were tested. Early indications say, at least at blitz, Hiarcs 8 Bareev, may be best. Alex
