However as I have noted on other posts the GMs games will have been thoroughly analyzed by Hiarcs 7 prior to the match. Further, several openings that are not included by the programmers for Hiarcs opening library will be explored in depth prior to the match. The hardware software config should be atougher opponent than the rebel 9 266 MHZ machine that caused Yusupov fits in '97 (the GM is not as highly rated as Yusupov), and should not be terribly disadvantaged compared to the rebel 10 450 MHZ (550MHZ) machine that played Anand to a score of .5-1.5 in two regulation games. Remember a 2600 player in a 6 game match would be expected to score 1.5-4.5 against Anand (i.e., approx. -190 elo). I think my machine will be performing at a minimally higher level at least.
