I am going to play with a computer in the 3/4 final of the correspondence
championship of Israel
One of the options is to buy Hiarcs7.

I want to know if the tests indicate that the difference between Selectivity
6(7) and normal Hiarcs7 is reduced in tournament time controls relative to
blitz.

If it is 50 elo weaker at tournament time control and 200 elo weaker at blitz
then I can hope that it is  better at correspondence games.
