well, I first wanted to buy Hiarcs... but I hesitated when I saw that it ran under F9's UI which I already have and I delayed the decision.
But today I simply saw F10 in a computer store and bought it without special reflection. Unfortunately, you never see Hiarcs in stores except may be for two chess dedicated stores in Paris. In fact, Chessmaster must be the only chess program that you can find in shops outside of Paris's neighborhood.

I hope that the water did not do too much damage ! Here we have a summer time
Game 1 has been rescheduled for Tomorrow Morning between 5AM-6 AM
I won't be able to attend this event...
By the way, Steve, do you know that you helped chessbase sell another Fritz ?
As I don't play online, I did not want to buy a playchess pass... but because of my frustration during the Hiarcs-Resurrection game, I bought Fritz 10 today and I hope I'll be able to chat the next time I watch one of your famous challenges
OK, just to preserve the right balance between programs and dedicated machines I also signed for a Renaissance Sparc today...
Preparing for Paris 2007 regards,
Alain

Feeling I need to break my silence regards,
Harvey
well if my flooded basement is what it took to make you break your Strict "Vow Of Silence"...then had i know this earlier ..the water in the downstairs bathroom would have been left on weeks ago!l
Perhaps Alain was not aware that buying Hiarcs alone allows you to play on the server?
to be honest i always thought i needed Fritz to play there as well
anyway my ship is due to reach Dry dock soon so we face off tomorrow AM!
hi Alain
well i was able to save all of the schachcomputers but sadly some of original boxes suffered water damage
as you well know me by now Alain..some of these boxes mean more to me then even the chess computers themselves
i was a able to save some of the boxes by quickly drying them off with some of my Wife's hereby dresses and other clothing that thankfully were still nice and dry

Sorry for the boxes, but I am glad that you were able to save the computers as well as some boxes.
Will remove all my computers from the cellar regards,

What a horror story - and no dream.
I hope this was the first and last time that water comes near your boxes and computers.
