I really can't help but laugh. Weren't we just a little while ago saying there isn't much difference between G/60 and 40/2? It seems unlikely that doubling the time control will raise Hiarcs' rating 300-500 points. >It is >very slow in seeing danger and will ofter make itself look dumb. I do agree there.... but Fritz on a P400 couldn't see the danger either, so I don't think Hiarcs is the exception in not seeing the danger. > >On the computer system that Hall is running, I would suggest using Chess Genius >5.

Do you really think Chess Genius is 300-500 points stronger than Hiarcs against Humans? > >As I have posted in the past I played a match some time ago with GM A Ivanov.

I did not hear about this; could you post the games, date, and other information? Also, this is unrelated to the post, but weren't you the one who set up the Yermo - Hiarcs match? I will have to go back through the archives, as my memory is really failing me here.... :( James
