Subject: Why is HIARCS X so good at Blitz & Standard Chess?

Author: Bob Durrett

HIARCS X plays as “sinferno” at ICC on an AMD Athlon XP 2400+ @ 2.5GHz computer.
It holds the "official" ICC Blitz Record at 3604 and has the fewest losses and
better overall records versus strong titled players than any other computer on
ICC.  It has only lost five games to two titled players but has played a large
number of GMs, IMs and FMs.  It is currently the top engine at ICC using
Standard time limits.

Why is that?  Why is it better than all the other chess engines no matter what
the hardware?  Is SSDF missing something here?  Is there a disconnect here?
