I have been playing games at 40/2 against Hiarcs 7.32 optimized for the best settings. I have noticed that on numerous occasions even when I played the move expected by Hiarcs, the program took around 10 minutes to respond. I find it difficult to understand why it should have taken Hiarcs that long to respond to a move it expected. How do we really know that Hiarcs 7.32 retains the hash-tables between moves? Do you see the hash-table info on the screen? Does it say that in the manual on the CD? The manual on the CD is the manual for Fritz 5.32. Are you certain this is in fact Hiarcs 7.32? As someone well-respected here often says: "Show me proof". Furthermore, all this talk about tablebases makes we wonder. I placed the CD under my breakfast table and it only supported one leg! I would need 3 more Hiarcs CD's to have full capability to support my breakfast table. Therefore, I conclude that Hiarcs tablebases are not only incomplete, but also not very practical. Any comments to the above will be given the utmost consideration. Please - only well-informed sources should reply. I will respect all opinions which disagree with mine even though they are wrong.
