Because it was not stronger than later versions and is not stronger than HIARCS
10 Release.  Outside of Thorsten's limited game results, real testing goes on
between Harvey, Eric and Myself and it doesn't involve 20 games, personal
feelings or monkey's and darts.  We run over 1000 games just to isolate a strong
beta from the others and then run even more extensive tests on that single
version.

Thorsten does not receive every beta and therefore cannot speculate on the
bigger picture.  HIARCS 90578 is, by rough estimate, at least 15-20 ELO behind
HIARCS 10 Release (perhaps more.)  It is not capable of some of the other
goodies that HIARCS 10 incorporates either -- such as automatic adjustment of
the forward pruning and increased time management efficiency.
