Hello John,


Get Hiarcs 7.32 because it has a 127MB opening book and fantastic endgame
tablebases plus Hiarcs 6 and 7 , Comet B00 and Crafty 16.6 and Exchess 2.51.
In addition it has the Fritz 5.32 interface.  In Enrique Irazoquies recent
report Hiarcs was the best software scoring ahead of Shredder in a field of
top programs  59% to 46%.  Remember that the programs at the Paderborn contest
were not the commercial programs.

Even better than Rebel
