Fruit 2.2.1 always seems to be struggling at the lower time control, but i have
not heard of toga having this weakness. 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.

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?
