  I am convinced that this particular master has a style that is just difficult
for hiarcs6, I have played another master friend of mine just four days ago with
hiarcs6 and it won beautiful and easily. I have also beaten international
masters with hiarcs6. Hiarcs6 on my machine achieved a rating of 2533 on icc
defeating many superstrong computers, this is why the result of these two games
doesn't convince me that i lost because of a slow machine.  As hyaat pointed out
my machine runs equalavent to a pent 200mmx.  Also I get a bench mark of 2511
running rebel10, this is slightly a better performance than the pent 200mmx on
schroeder's homepage.  There are still four games left, hiarcs  has a chance to
redeem itself. Let me add one more remark, Richard started this match uneasily
he told me he hoped to get only two draws in this match, and was just as
surprised as myself with the result. Although he doesn't play computers much, he
admitted that he usually gets beat by fritz5.32 , and has played chessmaster
6000 one game which he won, in a indentical ending as game 1 of his match with
hiarcs6.
