I was hoping for atleast 1 win by junior, and no losses :( Fritz 8 (standard year old version, maybe more now) had a better performance on a laptop, It just doesn't settle well. Hiarcs 9 drawed all 4 games vs Bareev, didn't lose a single game. I'd almost prefer something like that. Hiarcs 10 that is.
