I cannot explain the high rating of hiarcs6 other than to say that it's rating
is exclusively based on games against computers only. I wonder if it's rating
would be so high in games against humans? I doubt it very seriously if it cannot
beat a 1882 player consistently how is it going to handle international master
and grandmasters? When I first got hiarcs6 I was in love with the programming
praising it's human play, until I started seeing all the holes in it's game!!
