In my Hiarcs 7.32 it says Fritz mark!!

It is in the same place as the "FritzMarK" but definitely labeled "HiarcsMarK". It's under the Menus in this order:Levels,Engine research,HiarcsMark. And when you click on HiarcsMark the box that comes up is also labeled HiarcsMark at the top and shows the (hash=16384kB) beside the label. If your Hiarcs 7.32 does not have this then I would complain! :-) Also since Hiarcs searchs about1/10 the speed as Fritz it should need nowhere near the hash tables size Fritz needs. I use 16 meg for Fritz at game/5 minutes and never see the 100% sign come on. So I'm sure Hiarcs will work fine with 8 Meg at blitz. My HiarcsMarks are: PII 333 short:122(57.25s) 34Kn/sec K6-2 400 short: 110 (63.4s) 31Kn/sec My FritzMarks are: PII 333 short 250 364Kn/s K6-2 400 short 288 420Kn/s So you can see that Fritz is at least 10 times faster than Hiarcs in nodes/sec. I believe this rate is directly related to how fast you can fill the hash tables. Jim Walker
