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.
