Subject: Fritz 5.32 vs. Hiarchs 7.32

There is much debate over the merit of the two programs.  Sometimes I laugh at
the argument.  Ask yourselves, how many of us are at a playing level that a 6 or
8 point ELO difference would make a difference?  Does anyone ever say, "Hiarchs
handed my head to me in 25 moves, but if I had played Fritz, I bet I could have
lasted 27 moves"?

I believe that Hiarchs plays the best in closed, positional situations; whereas
Fritz will launch a tactical assault that is unrivaled in open positions.
