For instance, Mark Uniacke, author of Hiarcs, has one >machine, which makes it rather difficult to autoplay. 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. ChessBase has been >claiming repeatedly that they don’t autoplay either. 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.
