Tournaments? You know that SSDF's >testing at 40/2 between Hiarcs 7 and Fritz 5.32 was 22-18 in Fritz's favor. Now >that is fact.

I personally have no desire >to say Fritz is better than Hiarcs 7; however, I cannot see how you can dispute >the above results and say Hiarcs 7 is better because Mark Young's tests reveal >that to you. That's like saying the heck with everyone else's results and let's >just go by Mark Young's feeling or test results. I believe that mark young is an honest tester but it is not only because of mark young's tests Hiarcs7 did better results in enrique's games(40 minutes per 40 moves on 2 pentium400's and I have the games in this case). You can find the results and the games in computer chess resource centre. If you click on chess computer reports and go down to computer-computer games you can find enrique's games. I have a little problem with >that. And I like Hiarcs better! However, as you say, "show me proof". I don't >particularly enjoy defending Fritz; I only do so out of fairness to all.

However, until both Hiarcs >7.32 and Fritz 5.32 square off in at least 40 games, we really are just using >the hypothetical here, aren't we? Yes,It is only my impression that Hiarcs7.32 is better and I may be wrong. I believe that the only difference between hiarcs7.32 and hiarcs7 is the fact that hiarcs7.32 is 25% faster and can use nalimov tablebases if your computer is fast enough but again I cannot be sure about it.
