Your observation about the initial scores for Hiarcs 6 and Fritz 5 are generally
correct, however I suggest you take into consideration two factors; (1) The
hardware for all four programs is essentially identical so far (i.e., we have
yet to see Hiarcs 7 rated with P2 400MHZ 128 ram configuration for example) and
(2) each of these new software products are still to be tested against the
broadest array of software/hardware configs that presentlyu have 2500 + ratings.
I think after more testing you will see that these two programs (particularly
Hiarcs 7) will hold their ratings. Furthermore, a Hiarcs 7 running on a P2 400
MHZ 128 ram machine would probably be rated in excess of 2650.
