No, It is not truth
Hiarcs7 is a  "knowledge based" program and it is good at tactics and did very
good results in blitz games

, ie. I'd expect Rebel and Hiarcs to exhibit less

CM6000 is not very strong at blitz and is better at longer time control.

I expect chessmaster to have better results( more than 2550 ssdf rating with a
chance to be number 1 in the ssdf list)
