Anand wins World Championship - A Team effort!
Now it is all over it is time to share a little secret. The day before the World Championship final in Sofia started I had a conversation with Vishy's team. For the duration of the match they have had access to my fast 8/16 core machine as well as all my databases and Hiarcs opening books. Also, of course, all the engines on my machine. I Hope this managed to negate slightly the fact that Topalov had access to the latest Rybka on its Cluster for a few months leading up to the final.
I am sure more details will follow.
Congrats Vishy!!
Harvey.

Anand has always had a predilection for the Hiarcs and this program has seen much in the tournament, in the analysis Hiarcs played very fluid and I think many of the strategies of Anand are based on Hiarcs which is totally opposed to tactical game Rybka, also the game is colorful and creative Hiarcs brand, good for the Great Anand and think that Kasparov said he did not last long at the top ....
Congratulations to Anand and his team and also Hiarcs team that also contributed their bit ...
