I am a hiarcs fan.
I bought the hiarcs6.eng for Junior 5.
THEN I found out that it is seriously weakened under this interface.
This happened in the real world.

In reply, the programmer of Junior said that such issues are, I quote
"invented", and are not related to anything that happens, quote, "in the real
world".

Chessbase is not harmed by this because NOBODY KNOWS ABOUT IT.
