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
