      Hi Marek
      I am indeed wondering how things will go on
      with Hiarcs 10. After the many years of experience
      it's hard to believe the advertisment of ChessBase

      "The new Hiarcs 10 book is included which has been significantly
       enhanced with the latest GM theory and a wealth of novelties to
       provide a huge repertoire of fi nely tuned variations. This is
       the work of computer chess expert Eric Hallsworth and Hiarcs
       author Mark Uniacke who have combined to provide an exceptional
       new opening book."

       My experience is the opposite: the Hiarcs books have rather
       been a handicap for the program, with the exception when
       fighting against human players.

       And eventually: I am more interested in the naked engine
       playing strength and not in the the goodness of an opening
       book with which it's possible to hide a lot of weaknesses.

       Best regards
       Kurt
