It is easy for him to autoplay against Hiarcs6.
He does not need an autoplayer for it.
Hiarcs7 is number 1(and not number 2 or number 3) in the ssdf list because of
the good result against Hiarcs6(P90)
Hiarcs7 won Hiarcs6(p90) 13.5:2.5
For comparison Fritz5.32 won Fritz3(p90) only 17:5 and Junior5 won Junior4(p90)
only 18:6( close to the expected results based on rating)

I do not know if the fact that Hiarcs7 earned from games against prexious Hiarcs
is a good luck or result of previous games between Hiarcs7(Beta) and Hiarcs6.

I believe they even do not autoplay against previous version(otherwise Fritz5.32
had better result against Fritz5)
It lost 5.5:4.5 against Fritz5 in your tournament and the result in the ssdf
games against Fritz5 is 2:2.
