I fear, the reason why some people are getting strange moves out of the Hiarcs book, is mishandling of the book. At least in the german manual there is a *very important* passage about the opening book: It says, that the Hiarcs book works in a different way than the other chessbase opening books (Fritz, Junior etc.) and therefore: 1) Don't use it in Fritz, Junior or Nimzo environment older than June 1999. Only use it in the Hiarcs enironment! 2) Don't edit the book in any way, don't even start the editing functions, because then all moves will lose their weights and Hiarcs will play simply everything - even stupid things. By the way (changing subject a bit), I've seen some very interesting games played by Hiarcs. During the last days, I played a match Hiarcs7.32 - CSTal II, game/60, and Hiarcs has shown a very attractive, aggressive style. You would expect to see CSTal play some impressive King-attacks, but in fact I have seen the same thing from Hiarcs too. Very aggressive, always going forward and attacking, whenever possible. This is my first Hiarcs version, and I must say, I like it! Heiko.
