I have both system and fritz hasnt won yet. Hello Chris, You seem pretty adament in your statements but I haven't seen any posting by you. How many games have you played and on what hardware and what settings and what were the scores. How about some details. I was not going to post any results until I had at least 200 games but I had to send some e-mail and decided to check here before starting my second 100 games. So far,here is what I have: Fritz is running on a K6-2-400 with 16 meg hash. (I have found 16 meg to be) Hiarcs is running on a PII-333 with 16 meg hash. (plenty at blitz. ) Fritz is using the Fritz5 book and Hiarcs has it's own book and it's own tablebases plus about 6 extra 5 man tablebases not supplied with the program. Fritz has only it's endgame CD. The FritzMarks for the two machines indicates FRitz gains from the K6-2 while Hiarcs loses a little so in the first 100 games Fritz has a slight speed advantage. In the second 100 games they will switch and Fritz will lose about 18% of it's speed while Hiarcs will lose about 11%. This is because both programs run faster on the computer they were started on. So far the score: Fritz 5.32 vs Hiarcs 7.32 +38 -36 =26 (51-49 score) The 100 games were run in 3 stages. At first I ran 10 games and realized that Hiarcs 7.32 resigned a game. I like to run all games to conclusion so I changed the setting from "Resign late" to "Resign never" and started another set which ran for 70 games. I wanted to check the WCCC tournament so stopped the match for that purpose. Then I ran the last 20 games. So that's the conditions under which I ran the first 100 games. They will be available to anyone who ask for them as I save all my games. After this 200 game match I will run Hiarcs vs Junior for 200 games under the same conditions. Jim Walker
