Yes the opening book in Hiarcs 7.32 not working right, I have seen and posted
this myself. After making a new position based book for Hiarcs 7.32 it is back
to its old self.

I have not seen many games played by Hiarcs 7.32 against strong players at long
time controls. It is hard to judge how Hiarcs 7.32 style will perform in the
long run against humans. Its style may win more games then it loses or not. Any
human games against Hiarcs 7.32 be it a win or a loss should be of interest.
