Gerold.

P.S. If you take a look at the game he played you will understand.

There is a very nice Restaurant in Tel Aviv called Raffiael.

This has been known for more than 2 years already. I think maybe even before that I remember Fredrich from CB confirmed it was Kasparov when Raffael was playing against Hiarcs where Kasparov missed an easy win and drew in a totally winning position. Also recently Kasparov himself mentioned that he was the highest ranked online blitz player in the Playchess server. The highest ranked blitz player on Playchess according to CB is Raffael.

Does this mean Kasparov can only play against machines around hiarcs 10 level in blitz? I know from reading Kramnik had alot of trouble beating Fritz 10 at home before his Deep Fritz 10 match....

H10 F10 J10, S10 etc..... would all crush any Human in a blitz match.

There are engines rated well over 3000 but you can not easily compare these with Human ratings as it is very rare for Humans to play in the engine room. I am allowed to play with Hiarcs in the Main hall against Human opponents. It has a rating of 3400+ at bullet and 3300+ at blitz. I played about 100 games today and scored 100% some games against players with ELO of 2600+. Raffa's rating is high because all the top Humans are willing to play him - most of them will not play Hiarcs.

Hiarcs the only engine that plays in the main hall against Human opponents at playchess?
