Hi Matt!,
nice job getting this match set up, I would rather see a match on a G3 233 then
on anything much faster, This is because I use an amd 300mhz and alot of other
people i know use 200-300mhz machines so I think it is the perfect speed to see
if Hiarcs7 is playing at GM level on what I consider to be the average Home
computer, And as far as the opening book goes Im sure you have it undercontrol
you went this far to get the match up and going I really dont see someone this
kind of ambition allow Hiarcs7 opening book be lousy.
Thanks again!
