I don't know that that means all that much. Someone posted something about a
Bishop sac on h7, and I ran this through the various CB7 engines I have. Result:
Fritz found the answer after 18 minutes or so and 12 full plies. Hiarcs reached
the correct result as well after 7 minutes and 8 plies.
I still run Fritz for tactical verifications but I never omit to ask Hiarcs (7
now, used to be 6). As for sparring, I much prefer Rebel, Hiarcs, and Mchess for
a game.
