The best results I have had is with Hiarcs 7.01. I have not had a chance to play
7.32 online because of the testing I am running now. I most likely will only
test Hiarcs 7.32 against humans online, after testing Hiarcs 7.01 online against
other computers its left a bad taste in my mouth. I try to test against the best
programs online and play a set amount of games, but with Hiarcs 7 this became
almost impossible because of the high winning percentage Hiarcs 7 was
generating. The automatic programs would no play me, or change the time formula
to only play 0 inc games in the middle of my testing, and some of the other
manuale computer operators were no better. Rating protection in online play is
only getting worse, and thats to bad because it was a nice tool to use in the
evaluation of chess programs.
