Wow, if this kind of result holds at longer time levles, then hiarcs ten will have made one of the largest jumps from a previous version (version 9) of all time. (http://www.husvankempen.de/nunn/ratingall.html) Fritz 9 and rybka are much better blitzers? How does hiarcs do against them? also, Fruit should close the gap considerably if you give give it at least 30 minutes a side. It does even better if you give it 40/40 Keep the tests coming. I need to argue to my wife that i "need" hiarcs and she does not "need" to divorce me for spending all this money. Why the heck is chessbase doing such a pitfull job of advertising hiarcs? Are they worried about competing with fritz 9? best Joseph
