Below are two games which I manually played CM6666 from Shep's web site against
Hiarcs 7.32. Hiarcs 7.32 was using its own opening book, and tablebases, running
on a Pentium 233 MMX, with 128 MB Ram. Chessmaster was using a Cyrix 6x86 200
MHz, 16 MB of Ram. It's impressive to see that CM was able to outplay Hiarcs
positionally in both games. The first game is very informative in the
demonstration of how CM restrain Hiarcs 7.32, takes its time to mobilize its
forces and go for the kill (restrain, blockade, destroy). In my previous post I
said that I was not impressed with the performance of Hiarcs 7.32, so if any of
you Hiarcs die-hards can find out where your Hiarcs plays different I would like
to know. Hiarcs 7.32 was running in Windows NT 4.0 SP4.
