Mark, I don't know what time control John is using but I played Hiarcs at 40/2 in a number of games and I've seen some real bad moves. In at least one game it overlooked a simple pawn advance and went from about a +1.50 to about even in one move. The game became a dead draw when Hiarcs should have won. I gave the critical position to both Fritz 5.32 and Rebel 10 and they both made the proper move which would have kept the score over a pawn advantage and with excellent winning chances. Another problem I believe is the evaluation score by Hiarcs. In this regard, I think Rebel 10 is more accurate. In fact, I have a game going now where Hiarcs thinks it has a plus score where I couldn't see it and so gave it to both Fritz and Rebel who scored it a plus for me - just coincidence? Maybe yes? Maybe Hiarcs knows something the programs don't - I will see what develops. Remember, these are games at 40/2. Regards, Mel
