Whether or not Hiarcs wins or loses the match, would it not be a valuable win
for computer chess?   Why is everyone so insistent on proving that Hiarcs and
other PC programs are GM strength, when they may not be?  Just because this
specific creature, built to beat one GM, beats that GM, does not mean it is GM
strength.  Even Fritz5 did great preparation I believe in the GM tournament it
one.  I think it would be much for a sign of its true strength against humans if
it one went and play in a large American open tournament, where the oppoenents
are not know until a day, or perhaps hours before the round.

Sir Conan Arthur Doyle:  It is a capital mistake to theorize before one has
data. Insensibly one begins to twist facts to suit theories, instead of theories
to suit facts.
