I have two computers, a Pentium 200 with 96 MB ram, and a Pentium III 500 with
256 MB ram. I'm playing a series of matches with Hiarcs 7.32 against Fritz
5.32. Each program will get the same number of games on each computer. For
starters, I gave Hiarcs 7.32 the Pentium 200 with 64 MB of hash tables, and
Fritz 5.32 got the Pentium III 500 with 180 MB hash. Hiarcs clocked in at
12,000 nodes/sec., while Fritz blazed away at 500,000 nodes/sec. The initial
results are surprising, to say the least. After 5 games, Hiarcs leads with 2
wins, 1 loss, and 2 draws. I can hardly wait to see what happens when I switch
and give Hiarcs the Pentium III 500.
These games were autoplayed at tournament time control (40/120), and each
program used its own opening book (F5book.ctg for Fritz, Hiarcs.ctg for Hiarcs).
Each program used its own endgame CD.
