Thanks for posting that game Harvey, congrats to team Hiarcs! When can we expect the new Hiarcs? .. I see many new versions running in the playchess server.

About that game, 8 ... Qc7 wasn't played for some reason?

[Tony Thomas]

Congrats to both winners. I think Erdo misses one game on purpose so everyone will think that Zap still had a chance.

[Harvey Williamson]

Hi Tony,

Thanks. The final 6 games still to come. Vas still has to play Erdo!?

We kick off at 2pm UK time which is in 90 minutes.

Best Wishes,

Harvey

Yeah Congrats and good luck for the last rounds

It would be nice if Hiarcs wins, it accept the rules and i guess you made a good preparation, contrary to other top engines
