You have not played enough games. Tell you what, Play crafty (any version) against Hiarcs at 5 0 in a ten game match. Crafty will get eaten alive ! Set Hiarcs to "agressive", selectivity 2 and ram as much as you can, but keep it fair to crafty make it the same. I give Hiarcs 128 meg, but I don't think in 5 0 that is very important ! I can find no program that can get a plus score against Hiarcs in a ten game match with these settings and time control. I have not played Crafty however with his quad xeon which I am sure the outcome is predictable ! And yes, do not play Hiarcs with this time control much beyond 5 0 minutes. Example at 10 0 Hiarcs looses as many games as it wins in general against the better programs excluding crafty as i have not played crafty at 10 0. Hiarcs plays with gusto and makes moves that will not stand up against analysis. But that is the nature of blitz, go go go go apply prerssure Wayne
