Thats what I meant. ;-)

The other thing is that computers arn't even close to GM strength at long time
analyzes of a position. If you give me one week to evaluate a position and
Hiarcs gets one week, I'll come up with the better evaluation (and I'm not Gm
strength ;-), not even close).
Also, keep in mind that I can use a computer to help me analyze the position,
and I want to see Hiarcs do that! ;-)
