Today I read a post here by Jim Walker in which he reports 80 games at g/5min between Fritz 5.32 and Hiarcs 7.32 with virtually equal results. Significantly this was not engine v engine, and suggests that all these engine v engine results where H7.32 wins about 80% of the points are not valid. Again and again there are posts suggesting that the engine v engine results are not reliable and again and again these cautions are flung down and danced upon by repeated postings claiming a huge superiority by H7.32 over F5.32 based on yet another engine v engine match. The non-engine v engine results I have seen suggest that Hiarcs' superiority over Fritz is significant but not overwhelming and in the case of g/5 min blitz games, F5.32 may be as good or better. eric
