Hello Richard,
I'm glad to hear that !  I don't own H7 so I don't have a clue about it except
that it is one of the top programs.  I personally believe the top 3/4 programs
are playing GM level when played straight up.  I also have heard there are a lot
of tricks to use against computers.  I'm not up on those either so maybe you can
understand my concerns about the match being a fair test.  I would like to see
the progam played in open tournaments like they used to do.  I know there are
many problems/expenses and it's hard to do today.  I also think GM's do not want
to see computers in their tournaments.
Regards,
Jim Walker
