I played inside the Hiarcs interface. I always test with the Junior 5 book, so I
can keep consistent conditions when testing. Crafty 16.15 did very well in this
field of top blitz engines, even besting Fritz 5. Hiarcs 7.32 like always is a
mad man losing only one game to Crafty 16.15

Your longer time control games are consistent in what I find in Crafty. It tends
to drop off against some of the commercail programs as the time controls get
longer.
