Dear Stuart,

Thanks for thinking I might know the answer to this. However, I confess that I'm
the least knowledgeable poster at this web site, with respect to computer chess.
So all I can do is report results and leave it to you experts to interpret.

I do have good news though. I've exchanged a couple emails with Mark Uniacke and
he said Hiarc 10 is in the works. I offered to provide some assistance with the
opening book in that I'm reporting obvious flaws in the book when I discover
them.

Mark's a very nice guy. He's aware that the H9 book (and previous books) are
less than ideal and he plans to improve the situation.

All the best,

Stephen
