Subject: Who trained my Hiarcs-6 ?!

Hi !
I have run my Summer Beer Tournament. I call it like that because I normally
watch games between engines in the evening time after my job, and a couple of
cans of good beer are the only chance to survive this summer in Melbourne !
It was 4 round tournament with 30 min.time control for each engine. The results
were quite funny and mysteriuos. Here they are :
Hiarcs-6      26 / 36 (!!!)
Fritz -6      24,5
Hiarcs-7.32   24,5
Fritz - 5.32  20,5
Junior - 5    20,5
Crafty -16.18 16
Nimzo - 99    15,5
Fritz - 5     13,5
Junior - 4.6  11,5
Comet B10     7,5
  So, when I played with and tested Fritz-6 and Junior-5, Hiarcs-7.32 and
Nimzo-99, my old buddy Hiarcs-6 didn't waste its time at the background , and it
considerablely improved its brute strength ! Who could it happen ?! It wasn't a
quick one round blitz tournament. Could anybody explain this phenomen ? Did it
have something to do with my beer ?!
Best wishes
