It should come as no surprise that Hiarcs would win most of the games in these
engine vs. engine matches.  First of all, at tournament time controls on your
machine, Fritz 5.32 would require 120 MB of RAM to function at full strength.
Moreover, Hiarcs retains its hash tables between moves in the engine vs. engine
matches, whereas Fritz starts from scratch on every move.  This in essence gives
Hiarcs the equivalent of "pondering".

I've noticed that in matches played on separate machines, these programs appear
to be fairly even, but only time will tell.
