Such a simple question to generate such wide range of responses degenerating
into a flame war! And Sherry's first response should never have resulted in such
a stream flames back and forth. It was only an opinion, nothing more, and there
was nothing objectionable about that, as were the next couple of responses. And
then...
(For Sherry: maybe it would have been an idea to not respond to any further
comments; the thread would soon enough died out)

The question was answered: It is available on dvd from Chessbase.

As far as strength of Hiarcs 10, (I don't have the program yet - it is on order
from CBUSA) one can be certain that it is strong enough to run over pretty much
anyone on this forum, and probably all but a very few of the top grandmasters,
as can Rybka and the rest of the top engines. It has had in the past and
probably still has a different style of play than other engines, which can be
said of pretty much every engine, thereby giving a different perspective on
positions you may be interested in.
