Hiarcs 1 rating?

[fern]

I have been getting one draw after another with this program, so I suppose we are both of similar strength -or weakness-. Someone knows the rating of it?

Version 1 of these kind of programs, are probably not that good, and probably have tricks which can beat them.

Perhaps you feel you were really playing well. I think that Genius 1 is quite strong. But Genius might have been a continuation of Psion.

Maybe Hiarcs 1 IS strong. If it is similar to Genius 1, then that seems quite good. But if it keeps doing stupid things, then I don't know if that is considered a standard at all. Mind you, It MIGHT be quite good, if it was commercial.

I thought that Hiarcs got good at verrsion 3, 4 or 5. Hiarcs 5 was already a killer.

Mabe you're ready for Hiarcs 2!

Hi Stuart:
No, I did not feel I was playing so well, just enough well not to be defeated. I believe Hiarcs is at most a 1900 player and certainly weaker than genius 1. .
