Subject: Yes, Hiarcs 6 is Dumb.

If we are going to make the conclusion here in CCC, as goes Hiarcs6 in this
match so goes all chess programs. I would like to make a suggestion. Don't let
Hiarcs 6 repersent the other chess programs in this match. Hiarcs 6 as I have
posted in the past is one of the worst programs at faster time controls. It is
very slow in seeing danger and will ofter make itself look dumb.

On the computer system that Hall is running, I would suggest using Chess Genius
5. Genius 5 is one of the best if not the best program playing humans at this
time control, and the program is of the same generation as Hiarcs 6.

As I have posted in the past I played a match some time ago with GM A Ivanov. I
used genius 5 running on a Cyrix P 166. The time control for the match was 30
mins plus 30 secs a move. Genius 5 won with ease and GM A Ivanov quit the match.
