Steve, I also have Hiarcs 7.32 and find it to be most excellent. I do however agree with Drazen and find in observing the games of other people and the analysis by Fritz 6 that it is probably better than Hiarcs 7.32 at problem-solving. For most of us unrated or non-master players Hiarcs is, even on a Pentium 133, a formidable opponent. Don't forget that in another ten years the chess machines will blow us all away. Then we will long for the days of Boris and Chess Challenger once again.....Aaaah! I bet you though that even with all the advances there will still be chess problems that stymie the biggest,meanest and fastest computer. Tim Frohlick
