This is the Sicilian that Hiarcs 7.32 plays on my program. I re-installed the program and it still plays this line that both of you say is not possible. I suggest you open the tree, make the board small so you see the info, and check it out! White: Schwartz Black: Hiarcs 7.32 1.e4...c5 2.Nf3...e6 3.d4...cxd4 4.Nxd4...Nf6 5.Nc3...Nc6 6.Nxc6...bxc6 7.e5...Nd5 8.Ne4...f5 (here Hiarcs first choice is Qc7 which it should play; however, f5 is listed as the other choice here. IMHO f5 should not be played at all). 9.Nd6+...Bxd6 (and here the info screen says Bxd6 no highlighted in red) 10. the obvious. Now, do you like this type of Sicilian? Do you consider it a good opening? Now, for the Bishop's opening played by Hiarcs: White: Hiarcs Black: Schwartz 1.e4...e5 2.Bc4...Nf6 3.Nf3...Nxe4 4.Nc3...Nxc3 5.dxc3...f6 6.Nh4...g6 7.f4...c6 8.f5...d5 9.fxg6 Now, there is more that follows; however, do you all like this opening play by Hiarcs? Look at the position on the board and tell me what you think. Again, Steve, Terry, and anyone else who questions the opening play by Hiarcs, make the board small enough to see all the moves and weights and see if any of the above moves are not playable by Hiarcs as suggested by both Steve and Terry. If I have a unique Hiarcs that plays impossible moves, I want to know!!! I thank you all in advance for your time to check out the above. Regards, Mel
