Even Hiarcs 9 was a super strong positional engine that combined good positional
play with tactical tricks when it was apt. However, what I like most about
Hiarcs 9 is his sound endgame technique. The article says the H10 search speed
tends to be 20% slower than of H9. It's okay for a correspondence chess player
like me because positions are usually analyzed for quite a while, but what about
the testers or engine-engine match enthusiasts? Do you rate it as a drawback or
a benefit? ;)
