I am not sure what is knowledge-based programs.
Is Hiarcs7 a knowledge based program?

I know that Hiarcs7 has better results in blitz relative to 40/40 games against
Junior5 in Enrique's games so I have no evidence that it is better than Junior
for correspondence games.

I think it is important to know to prune unimportant lines and to extend the
important lines for correspondence games.

I did not decide with which program to play in the 3/4 final of Israel in
correspondence games.

It may be a good poll question.
There is a good chance that I will play with Junior because I can get the last
version of Junior from Amir but I did not decide about it.
