Peter, I agree. I too have found that at fast time controls, Hiarcs is a monster, but it falls off quite a bit at slower controls. However, I think all in all, Hiarcs is a very fine engine with very good positional understanding and also the ability to sense weaknesses around the king and go after them. A fun engine to play against or watch play, one with an "enterprising" sytle. One of my very favorites. Lately, I have been trying tactical suites against some of my engines. Hiarcs did very, very well, as I expected. Also, Ruffian 2.1 did very well too, as did Pro Deo 1.0. Those didn't surprise me either. In one test I did (210 test positions), the engine that came out on top was Tao 5.6 (UCI version)! That really surprised me. Do you find Tao to be a tactical monster too? I knew that Hiarcs, Ruffian and Pro Deo were, but Tao??? Mark Anderson On November 01, 2004 at 09:37:55, Peter Skinner wrote: >On November 01, 2004 at 06:13:10, Mark R.
