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. Terry Riple
