I do not think there is much to say. It is difficult to withdraw when we had not entered, we decided not to enter this time. Hiarcs 14 has played in the last two tournaments and performed pretty well. However to enter with the same version, that is two years old, for a third time does not seem like a good idea.

Thanks...i fully understand...hope there is an new HIARCS in bachground working :-)

By the way is now time to present an new HIARCS after 2 years with HIARCS 14.
I also fully understand, that isn´t easy to make HIARCS much stronger as now....64 bit will help in the Speed (5-10%)...but to be same good Play Level or better as actual Houdini 4 or Stockfish would be a very hard way for HIARCS Team.
Hope they find and make an good Job when new HIARCS will come in the future.
