Forget the HiarcsMark. You can only use it to compare your results vs other machines when using the same size hash settings. Mark (Hiarcs Programmer) said when playing a game with Hiarcs, please give it all the hash memory you can. I have found this is true. I'm currently playing Hiarcs with 200 Meg of hash table memory at Blitz. It works great! I have currently played 988 blitz games of Hiarcs 7.32 vs Fritz 5.32 on equal hardware (2 computers). The score indicates that Hiarcs has a 12 elo point advantage over Fritz. So they are too close to call and there is nothing wrong with Hiarcs.
