Hard to pinpoint really. I think that Hiarcs 9 is too one dimensional
(positional) and it is just being outplayed.
Small sample of games too, so there is always room for an unfortunate string of
results.
This is a strong field though. One shouldn't underestimate any of the programs
in this field. The free programs often don't get tested by people at longer time
controls, yet that is often where their real strength lies.
