Hi Mark



  I don't know if I am ready to rule hiarcs6 out just yet.  It just has a
problem with this particular master.  It has played six other titled players at
game in 15 and won them all!! That's why I am so astonished at the result of
this match.  I agree thought that genius5 plays very well. Maybe even we justr
had two flukes in a row which is not at all impossible.
