What are you talking about?

I posted two examples of Hiarcs playing White and Black. I clearly indicated
which color for each opening.
The question about why Hiarcs played the Sicilian has not been answered - quite
typical of avoiding the issue. So I will post the same move order as I
originally posted I am quite sure:

Hiarcs is playing BLACK, and I am playing White!

1.e4...c5  2.Nf3..e6  3.d4...cxd4  4.Nc3...Nc6  5.Nxc6...bxc6  6.e5...Nd5
7.Ne4...f5 (here Hiarcs should have played Qc7 I do believe) 8.Nd6+...Bxd6 (and
here Hiarcs played Bxd6 even though the info window said Bxd6 no which was
highlighted in red).

I have NOT added anything to the tree. I always have the tournament book on. I
copied the tree via "copy tree to disc". Now, what have you to say?

I also originally posted a move order for Hiarcs playing White and the Bishop's
opening which was as bad if not worse than this Sicilian I posted.

Regards,
Mel
