Now I agree with you :)) You are quite right on this -- playing the wretched
8...Bxc3 does not mean at all that a program is weak.  It only means that there
is a large area of chess programming that has yet to be explored and
encapsulated within a better algorithm.  I never intended to say that Hiarcs 7,
Wchess or Fritz are "poor" -- if I made it sound that way, I apologise.
