Example: Hiarcs7.32 is a knowledge program that has much knowledge which slows it down as far as the amount of nodes per second it searches. Fritz is supposed to think about 10 times more nodes per second than Hiarcs but yet Hiarcs beats out Fritz in many of the tactical positions! Hiarcs having all this knowledge searches "Smarter" and thus enables it to find the correct solutions sometimes even faster than the fast searchers can. There is a claim that Hiarcs7.32 is by a far margin the strongest 1 min.Blitz- player in the world! Another note: Hiarcs7.32 is beating Fritz5.32 by 11-5 so far in the SSDF tour- naments! Need i say more!!! Best regards, Terry
