----------
Hi Hiarcs owners,
  I feel the same way as you Heiko! There were 2 games that were posted
yesterday about Hiarcs7.32 having bad games out of the Openings, but when i ran
the same games with my Hiarcs7.32 it came out of the opening with equality and
the other opening Hiarcs was up a pawn with a good position! I showed my moves
in those 2 games and the one game Hiarcs doesn`t make this one particular
opening move unless you have the Tournament Book turned off. In both games that
he was complaing about, Hiarcs7.32 was perfectly ok after the opening!!
  A suggestion would be to re-set your Opening Book!!!
Best Regards.
