Engine vs. engine matches on the same machine are fun to observe, but you shouldn't read too much into the results. The only true test of the strength of the programs is on separate, equal machines, with optimum hash table configuration. This allows for thinking on the opponent's time, as well as time management. I suspect that Fritz 5.32 and Hiarcs 5.32 will be within a few ELO points of each other when all is said and done.
