Are you saying Hiarcs 6 is not even of master strenght. I look at programs as individuals. And like any individual they play at different strenghts at different time controls. That is why I test programs at many time controls ranging for blitz to standard time controls. Because I test this way I know that hiarcs 6 at this time controls is very weak at this time control against this type of tactic play. There are much better programs that can deal with this type of play at this time controls on halls slower computer. > >>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.

Yes, if you think that best programs are only rated 2000 because of Hiarcs 6 weakness. > >> >>As I have posted in the past I played a match some time ago with GM A Ivanov.
