Hiarcs overlaps some of the "clones" too, which is a big achievement, if it itself did not benefit from clone technology, which caused a whole generation to get above Rybka 3, which was a big leap ahead, ever since Rybka 1 came out.
So Hiarcs is clearly stronger than Rybka 3, withOUT clone.

Frankly, I don't really know what all this means, however. But it sounds good.

Even if Hiarcs DOES now take whatever it wants to from Cloneworld, it hides behind the reputation that it does NOT.
to draw such broad conclusions after so few games is naive to say the least...
You dispute that Hiarcs is strongest from Hiarcs, Shredder, Junior, Fritz? (and Chessmaster, Tiger, Rebel, Genius)
