Hello Ponti,
   I forgot to mention from my other message to your post that you should check
out James T.Walker's post at 23:31:47 on 8/1599-Hiarcs7.32 Mark? Short & Long-
Hi-Mark Tests! He played 3600 games at Game/3min with 1 sec.increment,Game/4min
and game/5min with Hiarcs7.32 ahead of Fritz5.32 by 3 points and Fritz5.32 is -
definitly a little stronger than the 16 bit Fritz5.16! So, there should be even
more wins scored with Hiarcs7.32 against Fritz5.16 with alot more games played

Best regards,
Terry
