I'd bet you are wrong.
Although Hiarcs ran on 50% slower computer I am still not sure in how far this
would have influenced the result. (don't forget WChess doesn't have an own
opening book)
The most impressing games indeed are the games WChess2k-Hiarcs7 no.13-20 (33-40)
And if you consider that the 1st 15 games were played with the "old" Wchess
engine and afterwards with the engine update, the WChess2k-update scored 12-8
with white and 2.5-2.5 with black which in fact makes a 14.5-10.5 it is still
considerable. Look at the games and enjoy!
Currently running is Hiarcs7-Shredder3 (Hiarcs again on the slower hardware)
but, attention, Hiarcs is leading 9.5-5.5. Compare with Hiarcs7-WChess2k..
OK, too early to say s.th. after 15 games, however it is a hint!

Absolutely!
