Hello Mark:

This Hiarcs 7 is the sameone everyone else can buy. However, the program is
being specially prepared by me for the match. Unfortunately, for tactical
reasons I will not discuss specific preparations. However, it is fair to say
that Hiarcs 7 knows a lot more about its opening book moves than before I got
it!!!
