HIARCS is playing quite a nice positional game against Rybka in stage 2 of the TCEC. Hiarcs has come a long way to be able to handle a former champion in such a fashion... as black! Currently a pawn up.
For those who haven't been following, HIARCS has been leading this stage thanks to a large win ratio against the bottom half.
