In Enrique Irazoquis' 12/31/98 tournament MChessPro v. 8 came in at third place barely behind Hiarcs 7.0 and Junior 5.0. It actually scored 6.5 out of 10 against Hiarcs but was bettered by Fritz 5.32 . It is an insult to Marty Hirsch to state that MChessPro v.8 was a half-hearted attempt to program a computer chess adversary. If I know Hirsch, he is probably planning some chess program that has over 10 Gigabytes of chess knowledge in it. You will of course need to be running Win2000 or NT and have a 30 Gigabyte hard drive on a 1500 Megahertz computer. Those of you who have not played the Hirsch program should consider it. It is a DOS program but it kicks butt. Marty put his heart and soul into this program. The reason that it plays a bit weaker against computers is the fact that it is a slow searcher. Just be brave enough to play it head to head with your own noggin and it will scramble your gliae. Mchess Pro v 8 has received excellent reviews by Komputer Korner and others at this site and it really is a good program to have in your collection. Tim Frohlick
