This is an extremely surprising result, because Hiarcs 6 and 7 are undoubtedly
the solidest and probably the strongest programs.
While one cannot draw any conclusions from one game, it definitely indicates
a fruitful area for exploration: matches at 40/2 between, say, Hiarcs 7.32 and a
Senior Master, who consciously aims for this sort of anti-computer strategy.
We have tons of data on computer vs. computer but almost nothing on the more
important test of strong master vs. computer at tournament time controls
(where there is some modest financial incentive for the Senior Master to play.)
These 2600 ELO computer ratings will have to be put to a real test.
