I don't know anything about Tiger 11.5, but Hiarcs 7 and Fritz 5.32 are the standouts I have found at fast time controls playing online at 2 12 and 5 12 time controls playing against computer's and humans, and I found H7 and F5.32 far better then other programs even genius 5. Fritz 5.32 style of play seems to be slash and burn. Hiarcs7 style was more well rounded and less aggressive, this I think gave Hiarcs7 the edge in elo over Fritz 5.32 when playing stronger players and humans, but only by a small margin, less the 20 rating points. > >Paulo Soares, from Brazil
